Had a lovely day with D in Leeds. Spent most of our day navigating the city’s one way system and primarily paddying about the abundance of shockingly bad drivers in East Leeds. We like to call them pussies for their low risk, stop and start, painfully under the limit type of dire driving. As you can tell, we were not even remotely bothered by this at all. We are much too laid back and easy going to let this massive annoyance bother us. We didn’t even tut. Not once. Tsk…

Took the puppy out for a walk tonight and as we neared the park field we saw danger ahead…another dog was approaching! Uh oh! Now, L, my puppy is only a chihuahua but she sure does think she’s a pygmy lion. She loves to run towards other dogs, all guns blazing yapping away like crazy. L laughs in the face of danger….then hides behind me cowering until I pick her up and take her away! Anyway, the dog we saw tonight was pretty huge. I dont think I have ever seen a dog that looked like a Manatee with legs on a collar…but tonight I certainly did.

I fear I am turning into an old lady before my time. It is exactly 6:38pm and I am already sat in my pyjamas with a cosy cardigan on and a cup of tea in hand. After a two and a half hour drive home from Milton Keynes, I am feeling extremely uplifted by the events of the day.

Today, I had the opportunity to meet with some of the core team from a FABulous magazine (hint hint!) and I have to say, my outlook on fashion and plain old life has been refreshed. This magazine is the kind of magazine you read and think, ‘Damn! That article has soul!’ It’s not often that a magazine has such an impact on me. Sure, I love to read Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire but not once have I ever read one of those publications and felt a hidden depth to the prose on the page. I am truly inspired! It is hard to find a magazine with such a tight knit team of dedicated staff who really value their employees, publication and readers and I feel so inspired from speaking to these three lovely people.

Watch this space readers, something special has hit the UK and I’m sure you’ll all hear about it in due course.
