Playlist | Sunshine and Moonbeams

Iona Bower June 25, 2020

As created by reader Louise Ashcroft, in response to our ‘Make us a mix tape competition’:  

“This mixtape is called Sunshine and Moonbeams, because, in all the heartache, confusion, the isolation, the struggle, the surrender, the sun and the moon have been a constant. So, here's a playful playlist to soothe and inspire. Some songs are there to uplift and bathe in musical sunshine. Then there are songs like Upside down, The Man with the big sombrero and A moment to Myself , which are more about looking after yourself, making your own sunshine and tuning into your own groove. There are tracks that call for your best shimmy, jazz hands, finger clicks, and some that ask you to surrender to the groove. Then there are a few moments to catch a deep breath, a smile, a hug.” 

Listen here: Sunshine and Moonbeams .

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
