“The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip hip hooray, the sun has got his hat on and he’s coming out to play!”
I am writing this from the comfort of my sun lounger, I have worked outside for the last three days and it has been awesome, I even caught the sun a little. I am a huge sun worshipper, it completely changes my way of thinking, my concentration improves, my motivation seems to rocket and I have even written over 30 ideas for future blog posts which for me is incredibly organised. I am on a role!
This week has been a little slow moving which doesn’t make for great reading I know however, next week will promise to be much more fun as we head off to the new Objets de desir Shop in Bristol for some filming. We are also looking forward to spending an afternoon with Emily Fisher and Laura Power, getting our craft on, but we will tell you all about that next week.
For now here is what else we have been loving…
