Can you believe we’re almost at the end of March? Secretly pleased that time is moving pretty quickly, closer to the end of lockdown and the return to some kind of normality. I have been super busy and at the same time, not entirely sure what I have to report on. I do know this; the sun is out, we’re on the third day of Spring in the UK and I’m here for it.
As it has been a little while, here’s a quick stop update of what I have been up to.

That just about sums it up. Lockdown 3.0 has been pretty up and down but I’m slowly seeing an end, excited for what’s to come and SO ready for summer and sunny days. It makes so much difference and although I’ll be working from home for the long haul, I kind of feel okay about it. Looking forward to sunny lunch breaks, enjoying walks with the dog, slower mornings, impromptu cleaning, midday showers, no evening commute, days in my dressing gown. It has its downs but as the world reopens, I think I’ll feel good about being home – silver linings. We’re getting there.
What have you been up to and what are you looking forward to?
Catch up very soon.
