You guys, we did it. We got the house! We exchanged contracts yesterday and we complete on our sale & purchase tomorrow. We will move in at some point next week...London dwellers no more. For 15 years this city has been good to me, but with every day I crave a different kind of life. A slower, simpler, wilder one with more time to be outdoors, sip our coffees and be together as a family. 🌿 Moving house has been a long, painful process, and I can’t tell you how wonderful it feels to know that we did it. I feel like you’ve been with me every step of the way and I appreciate every one of your kind thoughts, comments and messages of encouragement. You’re the best! 🙌🏻 Well, now comes the fun stuff. Making plans, leaving town and starting our next adventure. Goodbye London, thanks for all the good stuff. I’ll miss your ramen, but you can keep your hustle 🇬🇧
I think I am a person of almost exactly two halves. I love to throw myself out of my comfort zone, adventure, meet new people and do something crazy and exciting and different. But I also love, and very much need, to feel settled, to have an anchor and a rhythm to my days so I can be happy, healthy and productive. If I have too much comfort or I am too unsettled for too long, I feel all out of alignment. I need to ebb and flow along with my moods to really be at my best. 🌿 It’s been hard to feel this unsettled for so long with us moving house, and just when the end was in sight we are now in for more waiting. I’m trusting the universe, practicing gratitude, staying calm (with the occasional rant at an estate agent!). But what do you do at times like this to stay sane, get your work done and keep yourself healthy when you feel so unsettled? Visualising that first glass of something cold in my new garden is definitely helping 🍷
A few hours to myself to work from a coffee shop is something I never appreciated before I had a baby. Now it’s such a rare and special treat, I enjoy every minute of quiet alone time to focus. ✨ The reality of a running a one woman business is that when you or your kiddo get sick, you fall behind on emails and admin. Thank goodness for grandparents helping me play catch up this morning! Being a photographer involves much less time behind a camera than you probably think it does, and much more time sitting at a desk. Editing, emails, blogging, invoicing, planning etc is a huge part of what I do, but actually I really love all that stuff. I find it just as much fun to do all the nitty gritty business tasks as I do getting out and shooting, it’s a great contrast. Especially when I get to sit in cute vinyl cafes, listen to tunes and drink my coffee. ☕️ Wishing you a happy Monday, my friends. What do you have planned for the day?
Oof this week has really been a tough one. Set backs on the new house and the worst case of a tummy bug Rory and I have ever had. Being sick is awful, but being sick when you have a kid to take care of is totally unbearable. Thank goodness we are all rested and on the mend today, and I’ve had my first cup of coffee since Wednesday. It might be ill advised, but hey...it’s coffee ☕️✌🏻 I do hope the light in our new house is as good as it is in this one. I don’t think I’d ever tire of the golden glow that covers the back of our flat every evening. It’s basically the only room that isn’t in packing chaos right now too, so I guess I’m gonna spam you with it til we’re gone ✨
Never not missing New Orleans ✌🏻🎺 🇺🇸
