Beautiful Lyndsay, I loved reading your reflections and seeing your gorgeous pictures of your amazing home. Thank you for creating a seasonal feeling in me ❤️ love to you and look forward to connecting more in 2024 xxx
Thank you for reading Chloe. So glad you are feeling (hopefully easefully) seasonal, I hope you have a magic time with the little ones. And yes would love to connect more (maybe even IRL!) in 2024 xx
Yes I completely agree, I am wondering why I spent so long dreading them, they really are a gift and beautiful way to ease into the day (I actually feel as though my little ones are slightly calmer in these darker mornings). Ah so glad to hear that the concept of sun-stillness resonated, hope you can rest in the pause amongst the festivities xx
Such soothing words. Thank you, lovely one! This year I’ve also let go of that pressure to feel festive. Instead, I’ve let things unfold naturally. This is often a tender time, which means it’s a tiring one too. So...easy does it 💛
Ah my pleasure Sarah, so glad you found them soothing. And yes so good to let go of the pressure, I almost let it crept in this morning thinking what can we do that’s Christmassy for Christmas Eve but I think being in and setting the table for tomorrow and seeing what we are drawn to will be enough. Yes you are right, tender and heightened, definitely a good idea to try and find where the ease is. Much love to you and your family for a lovely Christmas xx
Ooo do you Annabel?! I am so surprised by my love of the dark mornings which I really did used to intensely dislike. I love the idea of solitary time in the dark stillness before the rest of your household is awake. The dream! xx
Beautiful words from a beautiful soul I feel so grateful to have met this year. I have found such magic in the morning darkness this year... especially with the little ones. Sophia looks for the nearby lights every morning. Wishing you a gentle solstice and the quote at the beginning was just perfect! Xx
Ah thank you dear Lauren. Yes so grateful to have met you here this year and to slowly be unveiling our synchronicities! I am delighted to hear you too are immersing yourself in the morning darkness, I am surprised that I am feeling so comforted by it. Ah I love Sophia’s ritual of looking for the lights. Also very into that quote, it says so much. Solstice love to you xx
Wishing you and your family a peaceful festive, Lyndsay. It's been a pleasure to have this window into your world and to have connected with you here this year. x
Ah thank you Bridget, so glad you enjoyed reading about my winter at home! And thank you, yes the staircase is a little wild and free in its current ivy woven form and I love it that way! 💚
Thank you for reading Victoria. Yes, isn’t it beautiful? It speaks to everything I am feeling and my realisation about the beauty of darkness. Solstice and Christmas love to you xx
I really love your photos, Lyndsay.
Thank you so much! xx

I have been loving the dark mornings so much as well. It has been such a sanctuary to watch the sun rise slowly.
Also the word "sun-stillness" - will def be using that one!

I too love the darkness of early morning, especially when I am the only one awake, and can really savour its inky black stillness and silence. ❤️

The dream, indeed! xx

And to you and yours Lindsay. I have loved being in touch and getting to know you and your work here this year. You are always very welcome here xx
Beautiful reflection around solstice and drawing it into the home. And your stairs/hallway - I love ❤️
