porridge, sunday sort out and transformation

I haven't eaten porridge in forever ! Mmmmmmm its so good... with lots of yummy golden syrup

I like a good Sunday sort out.....a re -jiggle, a de-clutter .....makes me feel ready for my week ahead

This afternoon I saw a transformation before my very own eyes.....someone I love was able to switch channels and change their perspective from a pretty gloomy place to a sparkly, energised one .... it was inspirational

an amazing husband, a moment of braveness and lovely words



Jeff left early this morning to get the boat to St Malo and drive back to Hossegor...... I love so much about my job, except when I have to say goodbye to my husband.... he's pretty amazing and I'm so blessed to have him

hee hee hee.....I was struck with a sudden idea this morning....why don't I just get all my hair cut off ?? so before I could change my mind, I booked an appointment, jumped in the car and ta da..... a new me !!!

when you're apart, you know the importance of words..... my husband said some particularly lovely ones to me today

a cute note, a sleepy day and a funny meal

I wake up to find a really cute note that Jeff has left me, instructing me to relax, sleep and get better soon...... and an equally cute note in the kitchen telling everyone else to stay quiet, and make sure I don't get up and start working

a day falling in and out of sleep and getting some serious chapters read in my book, is a day that makes me feel rested and loved, and looked after

tonight's meal is funny..... not the food itself, just the conversation

a yummy lunch, a surprise visit and chinese new year


I was so starving I had to sneak out to M&S and buy a super fresh rice salad with prawns and a coconut lime dressing

I love it when someone just calls in to say hello.... our office is kind of a detour for anyone, so that makes visitors extra special

Chinese New Years..... reminds me of when we got engaged.... we told my parents at a Chinese restaurant this time 6 years ago...... we grab a chinese take out tonight to celebrate

ahhh happy days, back to work and big results

it is always nice to know you're on the right track..... and in a funny way, the trip to New York reminded us of that...... we like oceans and beaches, forests and lakes, mountains and blue skies....and our lifestyle allows us a whole heap of that good stuff

back to work, but with a spring in my step

it feels pretty crazy to realise that now, unlike a year ago, there are more than 2 people working on these festivals...which means, when we come back from a few days off, there are some fantastic results waiting for us :)

4 seats, rice and beans and beautiful clouds


woooopa ...is there anything better than snagging 4 seats to yourself on a longhaul flight ???? I don't think so :)

we had a few hours to kill at Gatwick, so we found ourselves in a little restaurant eating the yummiest rice and beans that I have eaten in a really long time..... I think they tasted even yummier because we were so surprised they were good

finally, we flew back to Jersey, and rose above the grey skyline of London to the pale pinky blue clouds that made me feel at home, and happy to be island bound again

solo in soho, heli ride and beautiful dinner with the man I love


this morning whilst Jeff had a lie in, I cruised around Soho, checked out a cute book store and picked up a new yoga mat......hardly a city slicker but hey, it was fun

we went on a heli ride this afternoon....oh my goodness.... how much freaking fun ??!!!

after the helicopter ride, and before out flight back to London, we got a cab to the Meatpacking District and found an awesome asian restaurant called the Spice Market and had a very zen and very delicious dinner
