I love your list of comforts! It's reminded me of some of mine, like reading the secret garden or Winnie the pooh as a kid 😄 I also have a stuffed toy (a sausage dog, again not a euphemism haha). With my particular arthritis it gives me sore ribs, so I hug him at night as it helps to prop me up, and of course gives me comfort as an added bonus 😀 plus that Dahl looks so yummy 🤤

I'm so glad your sausage dog (and lol at the 'not a euphemism') brings you so much pleasure! Sorry about the rib pain though. Chronic pain really sucks.

I really love reading and rereading children's books. And The Secret Garden is one of my favourites. I really like the 1993 film and the 1975 TV adaptation of it too.

I’m interested in the Dahl recipe! The photo looked inviting even in the heat of the summer!

Lovely to read your blog Emma. I asked Rob what was his comfort and we both agreed…sitting in the conservatory looking out at the garden.

I love that Jen! Yes, just sitting and looking at gardens and nature is so comforting. 💕
