I love to spend time with my man, with my beautiful grown-up children, with my extended family and with the numerous special people in my life. I also love to spend time in my own company – something I have grown to appreciate over the years.
I love to be at home working, gardening, plotting and planning my next creative project, listening to music, interior designing, flower arranging, painting furniture, learning something new, sharing a bottle of wine with friends, watching Grand Designs, The Sewing Bee, The Great Interior Design Challenge, The Great Pottery Throw Down, Strictly Come Dancing, the latest period drama, shopping online, on Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook.
I love to be local – in the village, walking to the seaside, on my laptop at the local café, drinking cappuccino, at a yoga class, at a Boogie Bounce class, swing jiving, at the vintage fair, flea market, meeting old friends and new, volunteering at the local charity shop.
I love to be out and about – at an inspirational event, at a workshop learning something new, at Goodwood Revival, at a historical house, drinking in the architecture, taking photos, watching a play, a musical, a ballet, at a festival, a garden show, a luxury hotel, a party, dressing up, dancing, drinking prosecco.
I love to be away – but not for too long – with my man, with my family, with my friends – at a retreat, a weekend away, on city breaks, exploring Italy and France, holidays on the water/in the sunshine, sight- seeing, learning, planning, dreaming.
I am a BIG fan of inspirational quotes but, mostly, I believe we are here to be the best version of ourselves and to do more of what we love every day. In other words, be HAPPY!
