🎨WE’VE DONE IT: 😱🥵 Both Rob and I finally launched our exciting new venture this weekend - We’ve launched an art membership platform where you can learn to draw realistic animals and more. We’re so incredibly excited to be sharing his talent and showing people it DOESN’T take 10 years to learn to draw. We help people learn far quicker. Art is an amazing therapy too which we both believe can help hugely with mental wellbeing (hello peri-menopause 😂) If you’ve wanted to learn to draw with pastels and never got round to it - join us and share our journey with us. Check it out and I’d love you to share this post with anyone you know who may benefit from it. 🙏🏻

2+ new+original awesome tutorials every month + immediate access to all previous tutorials. Say goodbye to aimlessly browsing tutorials online. Inside our membership, you'll have access to world class instruction that will guide you so you can GET GOOD FAST and draw better and better everyday.

REVEAL: It’s finally done 😅. A project I’ve been working on for some time. This has been a passion project created because of the loss of both Robs parents in such a short time. We realised, too late, that there were things about them we just didn’t know and now couldn’t ask. Similarly for me having lost my mum I can’t ask her the sorts of questions I’d love to sit down and ask her.

This is a digital journal with tons of questions that helps guide you on your own journey into creating an autobiography that you can keep/give to your family? One question a week, or more, it’s totally up to you.

Through this process, you'll be creating an incredible gift. Not just for yourself, but for those who come after you. They'll see the paths you've walked, the decisions you made, the challenges you overcame, and the joys you cherished. They will learn about their roots, appreciate their heritage, and understand that they are part of a continuous thread that runs through the fabric of time.

And don’t think this is for a certain older age group, 😝 This is for anyone of any age that wants to start to create a journal of life that can be updated over time all about you! I’ve asked the questions, you simply answer them in this beautifully curated digital journal complete with original artwork. Buy it for yourself, or your parents, or your grandparents 🥰

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. - thanks Ferris 😜(Those who know, know)

Why do holidays come to an end so quickly? It seems the lead up, planning, organising and anticipation last for so long that the end seems to come with an abrupt heads up. France is a country that always steels my heart and Paris last night kept it. Monmatre today then, Rouen and home. 🇫🇷❤️🥐

Not one for ice cream but this one from today was spectaculaire. Are you jealous? 😂🍦 Walking the Rue de Jean is second to Prague for me: incredibly beautiful, interesting and totally captivating with it’s renaissance architecture, hidden walkways, beautiful doors, and friendly Parisians. With truffle salt, French soaps and full bellies we depart the French buskers for sleep. Goodnight Lyon

Oh Francé - Day 1 dawns and the early birds catch the boat… It’s 6.30 am and my tired two relax into our front row seats as our journey to Calais gently begins on the channel water. Our French holiday with a Swiss twist beckons.

It’s my first time driving in france and although recklessly nervous, the menagerie of trucks, service vehicles and crazy French drivers make me feel like a pro as we approached the incredibly beautiful Lille. With its echos of Operas gone by we drank our first café sitting by the Opera house consuming her architectural abundance.

Our first night in Paris reminds me that no holiday is without its Mr Bean adventures as we drove down into the car park only to take a wrong turn into the residents underground garage. With the slam of the metal gate behind us - I panicked - oh s**t, I thought as I imagined our midnight return to the car suddenly impossible and the nightmares of me screaming, hands on the gate in despair began… “let us ooooohut!!!”. Thankfully I noticed an emergency red button (they really are red, it’s not just in the movies) and the yellow light of - ‘we’ve seen you Mrs tourist, now get back in your car and leave’ starts spinning and the gate slowly opens with a thud of thankfulness and relief as my nightmare of being stuck three floors underground in a Paris carpark receded. 😳

Needless to say there was gate number two just 8 metres away and we promptly got stuck behind that one, but I’ll leave that to your imagination.

Finally stepping out onto the bewildering streets of Paree we coasted toward the enormity that is the iconic beauty of the city to climb her stairs (oh, ok I’ll be truthful, catch the lift ) up to floor two and watch the sunset over Paris from the Eiffel tower.

Squeezing amongst the tourists the world promptly drifted away as I stood, 20 years on from my first visit with Rob, this time with my daughter, chatting to her about why this view and this sunset was so important: life is in the details, I said, it’s the moments we create that make it come alive.

The at 11pm we watched from the ground as the Eiffel Tower lights twinkled on the hour and the crowed oohed. We had arrived.

By the time we reached our hotel at 12.30 am, the chaos that always seems to proceed a holiday disappeared into the quiet of the sunset that we’d just left behind at the Lady of France.

LIME BASIL & MANDARIN. This classic, popular scent has three good reasons for staying at the top. 1… Lime: Zesty, uplifting, sharp and sweet. It invigorates and awakens. 2… Basil: Herby and clean. It stimulates, clarifies, calms and uplifts the mind. And 3… Mandarin: Sweet and fruity and the most relaxing of all citruses. Bundled into soy wax this candle is an everlasting bliss bomb that is perfect to light come 5pm and work is over.
