Happy New Year!

January 4, 2018 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

In 2018, let’s do MORE.

Let’s laugh and explore and play and eat and drink and create MORE.

Let’s forget about moderation and minimalism, even though they’re in vogue at the moment.

Instead, let’s bake and cook and sew and grow MORE than we need so that we have plenty to SHARE.

Let’s build our communities and break bread together.

And let’s find more TIME, for ourselves and for others. Time to sit and be quiet inside our own heads. Time to marvel at the wondrousness around us. Time to be kind…and time to LOVE each other more.

Happy New Year! ♥

    Happy New Year! A lovely picture! I agree wholeheartedly with your wise words, Celia! Here’s to joining you in doing more this year. (I just took some freshly baked bread out of the oven.)

    Happy New Year Celia to you and your beloved family! Me too, yes please! To all you have said . . . . well, to be honest with myself, I don’t think baking bread will quite be in the equation for me . . . . but all else . . . .

    Happy New Year Celia! Lovely post.

    I discovered your blog last year and I’ve really enjoyed following along.

    Sounds a good plan to me. Also, I shall abandon any notion of perfectionism (not a hard thing for me to do). Happy New Year my friend.

    Happy New Year. Thank you for all you wonderfully inspiring posts


  22. on January 5, 2018 at 7:39 am Joanne

    Happy New Year to you and yours, Celia. Love your wonderful generosity and community-mindedness. It’s definitely going to be a year to bake and break bread and biscuits, muffins (”And cookies – please cookies”, says my cookie monster husband).
    In the lead-up to Christmas I discovered oh so many projects that are waiting for me and since it is not only snowing again, but is also very cold (-38 Celsius yesterday) I really have no excuse for not getting into them. I just have to gather up my scattered self and start.
    Have a wonderful year and please please keep up the great photos.

    “Here here!” Ms Celia.

    Happy New Year Celia! I love your spirit. Minimalism doesn’t look so bad when i have just finished cleaning out a home that we have lived in for 27 years. Have a wonderful 2018 full of health and happiness.

    You are such an inspiration Celia. Honestly. Thank you.

    A friend recently recommended your blog to me for your bread making posts(which are inspiring) but I am loving reading so many of your other posts as well. Thank you very much for all the knowledge you have shared so freely.

    Thank you for inspiring words Celia. Wonderful to read and take on. May they continue to shower over you and Pete and the boys throughout 2018.

    Happy New Year Celia! I second your inspirations!

    Cheers Kate.
