Time flies... yet another post on how easy it is to let time slip past.

6 weeks since last I wrote to you. 6 weeks of work and life and work and life. I've done nothing and yet done so much, been nowhere and travelled to Russia. Lived and breathed beyond living and breathing.


How to Hygge The British Way has taken over my life to an extent: I write there nearly every day, I have a pattern, a routine of books, recipes and random thoughts that seems to work. I love it, how could I not, it's so me, this home and safety and love that hygge generates, that I want to write for it as often as I must. I actually have my posts planned and ready to write when I set down.
This leads me to feel guilty. Because Angel Jem is still me, still who I am, still who I seek to be.

And yet, poor Angel Jem gets less and less time. I could just replicate the posts here. I could just cut, paste, change a little and post again, but that feels wrong. I can't even claim to separate the areas out because there are so many overlaps between my personal journal which this is and my professional interest, which hygge is, that I can't say 'This post is hygge, this is home' since so many are both. Inevitably both.

So I crave your indulgences again. I am still Angel Jem, but on a sort of sabbatical. Riding the hygge wave while I can, and using here more as a jotter, or diary. Random notes collected together.

If you would like to read me more often, please follow How to Hygge the British Way, or find me on social media.

    1. It's always lovely to know I'm missed... hopefully, now we're settled down more in work I can make the effort and write more here. There's a problem with adding photos during the winter as well, because by the time I get home there's no natural light to photograph the house! And it's a tip...

  2. I took a sabbatical once, during my PhD. It was very refreshing. You should do what you like most and what makes you most happy so if you need a rest here and spend more time on your Hygge blog, we'll just follow you there. x
    P.S. Just about to email you!

    1. When the reply to the comment on a blog is a month late, you know life has gone mad. I never asked... did you read your post on the hygge blog? I did go looking back over your old posts. Such a lovely thing to do now and again.

  3. I've taken a couple of blogging breaks over the years. Sometimes it's impossible to fit everything in. Glad to read that you're ok. Jx

    1. Good to be back! Yes, work takes more time than I anticipated... and writing takes even more. I must sort myself out properly, though. I have so many blogmates over here and I don't want to lose the Angel Jem part of my life.

  4. Can't think of many other things better to be distracted by than hygge!

    1. You like hygge!! It is a rabbit hole of distraction, though. I'm glad you follow me over there as well.
