I mean come on, how awesome is this? After a tough week (...this one has been very demanding) the ONE thing I needed to stumble across was a ‘ladybird crossing.’

It made me smile, and whatever is going on in your life right now, I hope it makes you smile too.

Bigger version with an explanation as to why this week has been tough can be found on the blog (link in bio).

Anyone else want to hide after three months of homeschooling?

As far as I am concerned, we can’t get to the school holidays fast enough. If anything, having one child at school and the other at home has been more challenging.

It’s also given us an insight as to what the ‘big’ return to school could be like in September. I think pupils will probably settle very quickly into the formal learning g regime, but socially, things could be tough.

Leave a comment, let me know how you are feeling after three months and do go visit the blog (link in bio) for more detail.

Can you believe this is a picture of @lspraggan??

Can you believe this is a picture of @lspraggan?? It’s amazing what a love of fitness and 11 months and one day without booze can do for an individual (yes, it’s 11 months and one day since Lucy last had a drink). Anyway, I had the great fortune to interview Lucy last week. We spoke about her forthcoming album ‘Choices’ her love of fitness and why she feels her life is better without booze.

Lucy also has a background as a foster mum. It was interesting to get her thoughts on this and to hear her plan to adopt when she’s older and more settled.
She was a glorious interviewee: Warm, funny and frequently dropped the f-bomb.
I really enjoyed this interview! Link’s in the bio. Please do go have a read.

“What are you looking at?” I shared my last “normal” photo taken before lockdown was introduced. Here’s an image taken as the “new normal” emerges.

I took my children out for a picnic earlier in the week. It was significant as it was the furthest either of them had travelled since March.
Helen has returned to school so has integrated back in to the world but for Izzy, this really was her first proper venture away from the family home.

The three of us had the most amazing time. I was a bit worried about how Izzy might respond but we had the most wonderful afternoon.

You’ll find more on the blog (link in bio). Do tell me though, have you ventured out with your family yet? Have your children returned to school? If so, how has it been?

.ad. Getting outdoors and active with @hellyhansen
Lockdown is easing presenting more opportunities to get active outside. We also have the summer holidays coming up.
In preparation for this, I try out a few items from Helly Hansen’s #activewear range (Hint: The Tailgate trainers pictured here are superb!).

“Demand for flexible working has increased by TH

“Demand for flexible working has increased by THIS much!!” Okay, I jest, that’s not what I was saying! New data released by @LinkedIn shows that applications to work flexibly via the website have increased by 189% while posts advertising remote jobs have increased by 277%. I spoke to a couple of other experts to get their opinions on this and they broadly agree: Demand for flexible job roles has rocketed up since lockdown was introduced.

You’ll find all the detail over on the blog (link in bio). Just to clarify, I am a LinkedIn #Changemaker but I was under no obligation to write this post and have not been compensated for doing so.
