January seems already to be so busy and hard work -- and not much prospect of a break until the Summer. The elements don't help either -- central heating plus frost then damp then back to frost, which Sir Walter Elliott reminds us, 'hardly one woman in a thousand could stand the test of'; I'm not that woman, as my poor skin reminds me. I am trying though -- and this cream that my sister gave me for Christmas is lovely. As is a nutritional book by Jane Clarke that I've been reading -- Nourish. It has some recipes (not many, and not off the scale of innovation), but mainly it talks very soothingly and sensibly about food and its place in keeping you feeling okay. It's divided into different life stages and I recommend it -- also beautiful photos and nice thick, recycled pages. All this reminds me then of Vashti Bunyan's Lookaftering album -- also pleasant at this time of year and well suited to the harebells blog.
