Happy nearly new month! I can’t believe it’s going to be February on Thursday! This time of the year, anything that brings us closer to spring makes me very happy indeed. Plus, there are plenty of things to do in February to help you look forward to spring.
If you are dreaming of sunnier climes, you can read about my adventures in Bermuda a few years ago in this warming post.
Visiting Bermuda – Things to See and Do may even inspire your next vacation!
I’m publishing Hearth and Soul a day early due to my blog redesign launching tomorrow (Monday 29th January). I have been thinking about it all week and it seems like a good way to take the pressure off a very busy day. This year, I’m all about low stress, and low pressure!

Your website looks beautiful, amazing that you are doing this for so long, I was reading your newsletter.I enjoy reading your posts about tours and journeys.Thanks for hosting the lovely party.
You are an experienced and renowned blogger so I have a suggestion, you can start a facebook community for the bloggers like me those who are new in this field where we can promote each other through social media.
