New Year’s Eve

One last warm evening of the year. A small toast, a slow look back, a soft look ahead.

Happy Ber Months lantern

A small home for the feeling of the Ber Months, all year round.

Happy Ber Months is a small home for the warmth, the slow pace and the soft glow of the Ber Months. The aim is to keep that feeling alive all year, so there is always something cosy to look forward to.

Put the kettle on, stay a while.

The cosy tools

Five small, warm things.

A small set of playful things I made for the slower moments. Each one is a soft little something, a nudge, a result, a smile, for when you want a tiny bit of cosy to do, not just read.

Sit for fifteen minutes.

A few quiet minutes can change a whole evening. I have come to believe that a gentle mindfulness practice, kept up all year, is what lets us enjoy the Ber Months when they arrive and the rest of the year while we wait. Five short guided sessions, fifteen minutes each.

The podcast

Ber With Me.

The philosophy of cosy living. Each episode I take one topic from across the Ber Months and sit with it for a while. Slow rituals, festive traditions, comfort food, the lead-up to the big days, the people, the small things in between. Warm, conversational, the kind of show you put on with a hot drink in hand.

This is your time to relax and listen. No matter the time of year, we can always have the Ber feels.

New episodes fortnightly, Sundays at 5am UK time, ready and waiting when you wake up. Pour your favourite hot drink and stay a while.

The shop

A small shop.

Only the things I would wear or use myself. A hoodie for long evenings, a beanie for cold mornings, a mug for the kettle, a tote for slow Saturdays, a notebook for three lines a day, a travel mug for the long walk. Printed on demand, sent from the UK.

The newsletter

The Monthly Ber.

A warm letter from me, once a month. A cosy idea, something to make or try, a film or book worth your evening, what is coming up on the calendar, and a small thought to sit with.

Other cosy listening.

A small library of podcasts I love. I put them on for walks, in the gym, and the quiet evenings at home. All on a similar wavelength, all worth your time.
