I always know something’s shifted when I find myself obsessively writing poems in the Notes app on my phone and posting three times a day on Instagram.

It means I’m feeling inspired.

On Sunday, my sister came round for a roast and told me she’s full of ideas. We spoke about the spring energy that can turn on a light sometimes dimmed by winter.

I wondered if it might be possible to migrate for winter, like the birds; to head somewhere warmer.

But then maybe we’re meant to have a few slow months, where we keep our heads down, so that we can enjoy the contrast of the light returning.

Last week, we celebrated the spring equinox.

I made a picnic for me and my three kids and we sat on the grass, on a blanket, in a London park.

The early spring sun was casting the most beautiful light across us, and I felt grateful for the shift to lighter, warmer days.

After a challenging winter - relocating; settling the kids in yet-another new school - I’m getting back into London life and I’m ready to set goals for the next quarter.
