I start my weeks here @sohohouse Morning Pilates

I start my weeks here @sohohouse
Morning Pilates followed by a swim and lunch with @frenchgeneraltrading.

It’s such a lovely way to start the week and sets me up for the busy week ahead

Do you have a Monday ritual ?

Well hello 👋 The thing with taking time away

Well hello 👋

The thing with taking time away from posting on Instagram is, “what the hell do you post when you come back?”

So after weeks of trying to post and deleting and repeating, I decided why not post my 2 favourite girls !

I have taken a very slow start to the year, spending time with these 2 enjoying being a Nona to Willow.
Peter’s home every 7-8 weeks at the moment, this keeps me busy and away from social media.

I’ve also been sorting out our house in Cambridge after the worst tenants in history have left, and working on turning my Studio into a self contained living space.

Definitely been kept busy away from these squares
So how are you doing?

Thought it was about time I showed up/myself on he

Thought it was about time I showed up/myself on here after a long hiatus

Currently staying in a Travel Lodge on the A1, visiting our house in Cambridgeshire. First time I’d seen our house in 10 years! Memories flooded back of the kids running around the house and playing tents in the dining room.
But it wasn’t my house and it was definitely a strange experience.
After 10 years of tenants it’s time to wave a fond farewell and let a new family make new memories.
🏡
In other news, January is always a tough month. And this January is no exception as I battle with lots of changes in both my business and personal life.
The hardest battle for me currently is dealing with weight gain. Hence me hiding behind my phone in this photo.
My bloods show I’ve gone into hypothyroidism, my thyroid is now under active as opposed to being over active.
It’s making me feel miserable and hiding at home is where I feel most comfortable.
☕️
As we move into a new month in the next few days I’m going to do my best to be more positive.
I’m turning my studio into an Airbnb which will definitely keep me busy !

How is your start to 2022 going? Let me know in the comments x

I started writing this caption on November 1st !
🍁
I’m here lurking behind the scenes, just not feeling very creative or motivated currently.
🍂
2021 has been a year of so many changes for me personally that I’ve struggled to continue with what was my normality prior to 2020.
☕️
I’ve been plagued with illness this year and November has been and still is consumed with hospital appointments.
Finding motivation and energy is proving a difficult task for me.
🍁
Empty nest is harder than I think I anticipated. Levi has become a social butterfly and between work and A levels I rarely see him, as it should be for an 18 year old I know !
Izzy is busy running her home, business and mum to Willow who is 18months old next month! Where has that time gone !?!
🍂
And Peter and I FaceTime whilst having dinners for one.
This Christmas will see a quiet table , a table set for two; Levi and myself .
Box sets, Bailey’s and blankets will be the theme this Christmas.
☕️
I now sit here wondering what 2022 will have in store for me. I want to be excited, there’s no reason i shouldn’t be. But I feel myself clinging on to the 2021 I have gotten used too, lonely but cheering my children on from the sidelines. Smiling from ear to ear at their achievements in such a challenging year

Autumn Vibes Nature at its best this time of year

Autumn Vibes

Nature at its best this time of year. Every morning I wake, the colours are changing on the trees.
🍁
I love the crisp mornings, blue skies and crunchy leaves beneath my feet.
Dog walks, meeting friends for hot chocolate in cozy cafes.
🍂
The excitement of Christmas only weeks away.
☕️
And for my seeing Mr B in 3 weeks, can’t come soon enough !
🧡

What are your Autumn highlights?

Last night I was invited to try the 10 course tast

Last night I was invited to try the 10 course taster menu with a 5 drinks flight accompaniment @thecuriouskitchenaztec in Bristol.

The Curious Kitchen is all about dishes full of colour and flavour.
Creating seasonal dishes full of exciting ingredients is the main focus of the kitchen headed by executive chef Marc Payne.

The menu consists of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes.
The kitchen were happy to accommodate the taster menu for me as I do not eat meat.
So do not be put off that there is not a dedicated vegetarian menu.
I recommend contacting the restaurant before hand to see if they can accommodate.

The flight of drinks consisted of 4 cocktails and a glass of Malbec.
A very unusual flight for a taster menu , but nonetheless enjoyed by my guest Becky @thedreamhomewebuilt

Thank you @thecuriouskitchenaztec @aztechoteluk @socialightapp for having us, accommodating the menu for me and the warm welcome we received.

I’d love to know if you have had a taster menu before?
It’s a great way to try different dishes at a restaurant.
