Week 8 - February 2020

Monday 17th

Happy Monday!!

What a week I had last week! Packing my girl @_dansoninthestreet_ off down to start her new life in London, galavanting up and down the M6 in weather conditions like I’ve never experienced before and planning and hosting an afternoon tea for over 30 family members! (& that wasn’t even all of them!!)
So I’m setting off this week on a somewhat slower pace. Starting with a day of catching up on emails, posting last week’s journal to my website and making plans for some new blog posts.
Any requests on subjects you’d like me to cover? Just pop them in the comments below ⬇️⬇️
Wishing you a calm start to the week!

Storm Dennis appears to have done his worst and moved on for now and I’m hoping for some brighter weather as we move on through the week. I was thinking if it brightens up and we get some decent light in the house I might make the most of the it being tidy by doing a cheeky ground floor house tour. Who knows I may even step totally out of my comfort zone and have a dabble with IGTV.
Hands up if you’d be interested in having a virtual nosey?

Friday 21st

 Happy Friday you lovely lot!

I’ve got a day of styling and photography planned for today so fingers crossed for some brighter weather! It’s SO dark in this house when it’s gloomy outside and I actually find it really brings my mood down which as a result has a negative effect on my productivity. On the bright side, at least the days are getting longer now, so that helps, but I just yearn for the sunshine....must be my Mediterranean blood!
Ooohh also I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who’s taken the time to watch & comment on my House Tour from earlier this week. In fact who needs sunshine?!..... all your lovely positive comments are enough to brighten even the greyest of days!! 🙌🏼☀️

Hellooo & happy Sunday!!

I’m afraid I’ve no time to stop and chat....the sun’s come out and I’ve got pictures to take before it disappears again!!! 🙌🏼☀️📸
Hope the sun’s shining on you this afternoon!
