A book is one of the most precious gifts you can give. This year, I’ve drawn so much inspiration and comfort from books, so I wanted to share a few that you may enjoy, or want to give as a gift this year.

It's a largely under-appreciated room.It exists, but you're not proud of it. It's small, it's a toilet, you hide things like the old washing machine in there until you can get rid of it (yes, guilty, I've done that) and therefore you're a little embarrassed about it. 

We're required right now to say at home for our own safety - but our homes have always been our safe place.  Just look Maslow's hierarchy of needs; you'll find shelter, alongside food and water at the bottom as the most fundamental of things we need to survive and function. Home is our foundation.
