BACK

We arrived home late yesterday afternoon from Cromer and 5 days away, it was lovely. I'm not sure I've ever been so grateful to walk along the beach, sit in the sun and soak in 'time away'. The weather was great and minus my son who was working the three of us and Buster our dog had a lovely relaxing time. Everything seemed much the same as at home in terms of masks and social distancing, the beaches were not busy and we managed to pretty much keep to ourselves. A few long walks, time on the beach, bbq's... it was...

A GRAND DAY OUT

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. From Leicestershire to Knowle to meet a lovely shop owner and her website which needs a rather big update. 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.

This week feels like it's a tad busy with many little updates and amends, several websites to finish, a couple of new enquires, one on hold and a few logo's out of the blue.  Meanwhile my current clients continue to contact me and I it's a case of keeping all those balls in the air at the same time.

Things are changing

I can feel life starting to pick up a bit, especially for my kids. My son is spending a week with a company deciding if he wants to join them on an apprenticeship and his rugby training has started up again... although no contact. I've just dropped my daughter off at the park to meet a few friends, I'm so happy for her to get out a bit, be with friends to chat like teenagers do. I've got on fine with my morning but now waiting for various people to get back to me, hence time to write my blog. Several...
