Done is better than Perfect…
This week, despite the summer sun, I’ve been feeling frustrated with myself. I’ve launched some new services – which I’m super excited about – but I’ve fallen behind with doing all the things I need to do to promote and properly share the details to get momentum around them. FFS, come on woman. Power up. … Continue reading…
TRACTOR
A month or so ago I went to spend time with David Taylor to create some uncontained films. (his link is here) I’m sharing here one of the short films he’s produced from our time together. What do you want to tell me about this? The Tractor from David Taylor on Vimeo.

THE CHALLENGE OF GETTING HIGH
I’ve set myself a challenge myself to get out running /walking every other day and luckily there’s lots of great places to go here in Yorkshire.

DO THE WORK
My girls were back to school last week after almost 3 weeks off. Ruby had homework to do over Easter hols (she’s only 8 so it was timetables and practising her flute and all her spellings) – we managed to do a bit here and there, but frankly she wasn’t to be persuaded. After asking … Continue reading…
