Did you know, it was Mental Health Awareness Week

Did you know, it was Mental Health Awareness Week last week ?

Anyone that’s followed me for some time now will know I do not hide the fact that I am clinically depressed. I have been since my teens and take medication daily to balance all the pesky brain stuff.

Even with the medication I have bad periods, where everyday tasks are a struggle. Anxiety is high and paranoia can get out of control.

This weekend I have had a friend visiting and I’ve had lots of self care in the guise of fresh air, sunshine , pool day and slowing down. Jo @whispersfromthefens has reminded me that self care is about the small things; dipping my toes in the sea at Durdle Door being one.

Today I’m off to my happy place, @sohohouse to start my week slow, and have some self care. To remember when things get hard, go and find happiness in those little moments.

I’ve had a busy few weeks. Lots of time with Willow which is always a bonus and a couple of photo shoots.

Today Johanna @whispersfromthefens arrives this evening for a few days staying @thestudiosuk_

Cannot wait to catch up with Jo. I have a fun packed Friday planned for us.

Here is a another shot of Padstow.

Have a wonderful Thursday whatever you are doing. Let me know in the comments.

This building in Padstow gives me Wes Anderson’s

This building in Padstow gives me Wes Anderson’s vibes, what do you think?

Unless you are hiding under a rock of late, you must have seen the Wes Anderson video trend going around!?

Wes Anderson is a hot topic currently for content creators at the moment. His love of symmetry and colour grading can be seen mimicked all over social media and I am loving it!

I do have my own Wes Anderson style reel in my drafts that I may dare to share. In the meantime check out @tigerlillyquinn who lives in a Wes Anderson movie every day. Also loving @yantastic travel reels inspired by the man himself. Just search #wesanderson and lots of brilliant content you will find.
Follow @accidentallywesanderson for travel inspired Wes.

Hands up if you can’t wait to see Astroid City? 🙌

A day by the sea was needed last week. Mr B and I

A day by the sea was needed last week. Mr B and I had less than 24 hours in Padstow and we used it well.

First stop was lunch at The Ship Wreck , they did the most amazing fish goujons. Then our next stop was @ricksteinrestaurants Rick Steins coffee shop and bakery. I had the cinnamon cronut and it was delicious. Thank you @wanderlust_with_emma
for the recommendation.

Pre dinner drinks were had at Ruby’s Bar, another Rick Stein establishment which we hadn’t realised to start.
Dinner was of course at The Seafood Restaurant, the reason we were in Padstow.
I had the salmon and tuna tartare and Lobster Thermidor which was delicious. Dessert was a peanut butter and banana cheesecake.

No photos of dinner as it really wasn’t the place to whip out the iPhone lol 😂
So enjoy this cute spot by the harbour instead.

The week has started well with Peter arriving Frid

The week has started well with Peter arriving Friday and my sister from another mister, @kmooncraft staying with us for a few days.

Sadly Karen and Kevin have left now, but on the upside Peter and I are in Padstow to try out @ricksteinrestaurants seafood restaurant.

Hope you all having a lovely week. I’m hoping the sun will make a comeback soon, I’m fed up of these grey skies!

More photos from beautiful Venice. I have eventual

More photos from beautiful Venice. I have eventually downloaded my images of my camera last night and couldn’t help but edit a few immediately.

I loved the reds, oranges and yellows of Venice. This corner caught my eye , the different hues and hand painted street signs.

If there is one thing you must do in Venice, just walk the streets and take in the beauty of the canals, peeling wall paint, washing on lines and enjoy exploring.
