Really happy for my daughter who's gone back to school today. I already miss her coming up to kiss me and making me cups of tea! but really happy she's back wit her friends, albeit in a bit of strange class room arrangement. It's very quite in our office at home, the sound of the trees in the wind, my husband tapping away on his computer and the odd 'bellowing' phone call he has. We've even decided to escape for lunch together, wow what a treat that will be!!! In terms of design, I am creating by the bucket load,...

I'd forgotten despite it being in my diary and knowing in my mind it was A'Level results day today, until I saw another mums post on Facebook at 10 this morning.

A few long walks, time on the beach, bbq's... it was...

Oh to jump in the car to drive and meet a new client. This is what I did earlier this week. I'd almost forgotten what it was like.

Masks in place and social distancing adhered to in store, it was lovely to meet someone new and also look round her fab shop. Forever the tourist. It would have been nice to see more of the town, but on this occasion, went from parking my car walking past the church and straight...

Blink and now it's the summer holidays. My thirteen year old was mulling around the house this morning, so I set her to work doing my expenses. I'm not sure she was prepared for how many months needed totalling up. But... she's got great attention for detail so ended up doing a really good job. As I told her, I'd only have to pay someone else to do it so why not pay her? Her older brother has also helped over the years. I had a list of things to do this morning and to my surprise sped through them...
