No I don't intend to swim the channel, but this book combines a few of my current obsessions...sploshing about outside in water, food, and er not having children and finding meaning in that. Reading this has been a joy, inspiring words from not just @jessica_hepburn_ but also her interviewees. Opportunity best sums my mindset at the moment, so thanks #eddiebrocklesby for that. Aware I haven't scribbled in some time, will stop belly aching and getting back to it soon! 🎨 ❤️ #endometriosis #fibroids #childlessnotbychoice #grabopportunities
Podcasts and learning. In the past 12 months I have found the conversations I seek from kindred spirits that just don't often appear in the more traditional media, or even yet around most dinner tables. Always a fan of lifelong tweaks and learning of the #growthmindset ilk, @elizabday, her book, and #howtofailwithelizabethday podcasts have sparked so much recognition for me. Challenging my own perceptions of my failures against my expectations, as well as improving my own narrative in the face of social judgement. #childlessnotbychoice #bringonadifferentadventure #squigglylife
Sand bags and water pumps everywhere. The light was fading as I walked into central York for a networking event earlier #disrupthr. This is the highest the Ouse has been for a while. Yes that is a red stop sign on a road now turned river! And a park totally submerged. ☔ 🚫💧Warm and dry back in on our Fulford bolt hole now.
Unloading the dishwasher and loving the warm mish mash and colour of the things that fill our home. #ladygreytea in @cornishware_artist mugs #welovemarmite and who doesn't love a pineapple with a bit of lime and chilli? @nadiyajhussain yellow bowl
#henrimatisse this poster hung in my teenage bedroom, I bought it from that poster shop that used to be on #exchangestreetnorwich. Now my father has taken its creases and 30 year patina, re framed it, and hung in above the bath in their spare room, my grown up spare room. #upcycling. And I'm still dreaming of colour and shapes. 🎨 🛀 💛
Blew away the cobwebs. It would've been a bit too mental to dip alone today, especially here with the tide just on the turn. Yet to convince my Norfolk girls to benefits of winter #seaswimming. Loved being buffeted standing on that pebbley bank in the sunshine, felt very rooted to my Norfolk family heritage. #vitaminnorfolksea
