Hey Friend! How are you? What have you been up to this week? It’s the start of my final week of the holidays (boooo!) so I’m cramming in as much as I can. Last week, we went to see the Schiaparelli exhibition at the V&A with my dear friend, S. We’d arranged to meet her … Continue reading Let’s Explore

Working 8ish till 4ish…
Hey Friend! How’s it going? I really hope you’re not complaining about the heat! We spend too many months in dreariness in the UK to be moaning about a wonderfully long summer! We are already in the second week of August, which means I have a week and a half left before I’m back at … Continue reading Working 8ish till 4ish…
About Last Night
Hey Friend! How are you? How are you enjoying the summer? We’ve officially crossed over into a new month. The sun is already rising just that little bit later and I’m hoping for a meander towards September and the new term rather than full speed ahead. Regardless, I’m determined to fill this summer with lots … Continue reading About Last Night
Gimme Five
Hey Friend, How are you? Any interesting news to share? I’m all ears! While I wait to hear from you, I’ll share that we’ve officially reached the end of term – yessss! Working in a school office means I get four weeks summer holiday and not six, but those four weeks will still be bliss … Continue reading Gimme Five
Introvert + Instagram = ?
Hey Friend! How are you? The hot weather has continued and I for one am so happy about that! Yes, there will always be the moaners complaining that it’s too hot.

And Relax
Well, hello there, Friend! How are we doing? Hope all is well and you’re enjoying the bursts of spring popping up all over the place. It’s especially heartening to see daffodils in random spots on roadsides, a patch in a park or even my own terrace. The ones on my terrace are a wonder – … Continue reading And Relax
Write, Dear Writer
To my fellow writer friends: Do you ever get stuck on what to write? Yes, I know it’s generally called writers block but sometimes it feels less like a pipe blockage and more like a wall that you’d need several attempts with heavy machinery to get through. The idea is there, but the actual words … Continue reading Write, Dear Writer
There’s a bit of a chill in the air…
Hey Friend, how’s things? You won't believe how cold it is at the moment. It is absolutely freezing here in England. The frost covering rooftops and grass looks gorgeous but who actually wants to be outside in this chill? I’m sure someone enjoys winter but I’m really not a fan. I do, however, enjoy Christmas … Continue reading There’s a bit of a chill in the air…
Loosening the reigns
Hey, So you're not gonna believe this but Older Miss (OM) went to the corner shop all by herself today and my heart was in my mouth the whole time. I mean she's basically 10 years old (give or take a few weeks) so I have to start letting go, right? She'll be going to … Continue reading Loosening the reigns
Who said play-dates were fun?
Hey Friend, You're not gonna believe the day I've had! I should now be stuffing my face with chocolate whilst watching some nonsense on the tv to forget but it's the summer holidays so the girls are still up - and, more importantly - I don't actually have any chocolate!!! Yes, this is a truly … Continue reading Who said play-dates were fun?
