If January ran ahead of us, then February has felt like wading through mud ... literally. Here at Fossoway Stables, February is a month of endurance and patience and standing still while preparing to move. The days are beginning to stretch, thankfully, but not quite enough and the temperature hints at rising, but it hasn’t quite committed. We are waiting ... for the grass to grow, for the ground to firm up and for the moment when proactive jobs replace reactive ones. Right no

People often say January drags ... that it stretches out endlessly, grey and reluctant to get going. But this year, it’s felt quite the opposite. January seems to have slipped past in a blink, carrying us with it before we quite had time to notice. We brought in the new year here at Fossoway, co-hosting our Hogmanay party with Mum and Dad. The house was full ... friends, family, neighbours ... a joyful, noisy, slightly chaotic celebration that feels like the very best way to

I didn’t think much would happen today. January days feel like that to me ... already finished before they’ve properly started. The light comes late and leaves early, and everyone moves as if conserving something. Heat, maybe. Or hope. I arrive just after lunch, when the place has gone quiet again. Not empty, just folded inward. The kind of quiet where sounds carry further than you expect. A door closing somewhere. Water running. A voice, then gone. The cold surprises me ever

Good morning from Fossoway Stables. As January continues to settle, this week’s stories offer a reassuring reminder that progress doesn’t pause at the turn of the year.

By the time I arrive, the day has already decided what it’s going to be. The light is thin and undecided, the sort that makes everything feel provisional. I check the time twice, once on my phone, once by habit, as if it might have changed while I wasn’t looking. It hasn’t. January always does this to me ... it stretches things out. It asks for patience and offers no proof it will be rewarded. I arrive with lists forming themselves faster than I can write them down, and leave

January has a way of arriving without ceremony ... and staying longer than you expect. I wake before the alarm most mornings in winter. The body learns the light, even when the light is barely there. There’s a particular cold that settles into the joints at this time of year - not painful, exactly, just insistent. A reminder that I’ve been here long enough for the seasons to leave their mark. The kettle goes on out of habit rather than thirst. Tea first ... always. I stand by

December has been one of those months that feels like it’s moving in two directions at once ... simultaneously full-on and busy, while also gently nudging us towards slowing down, settling in, and leaning into the season. Our house has been a little upside down this month with work still ongoing, but we managed to get a lot done before Christmas. The living room, vestibule, hallways, main bathroom and kitchen all got a fresh lick of paint, which felt like a real milestone. J

November always arrives with a certain personality, doesn’t it? A mix of sideways rain, sudden frosts, short days, and the annual question of w hy do all the appliances choose this exact month to give up? It’s been a busy one here at Fossoway Stables and it feels both productive and mildly chaotic, depending on the hour of the day and the state of the weather.
