Hello, hello lovely people! I hope you’re all ok and that you’ve been able to enjoy the sunshine this week!

Here in London it is positively scorching, and after a busy few days I have finally stolen a moment to sit outside and write. I feel like an absolute lady of leisure right now. I am in the garden, listening to the birds and writing! AT NIGHT! The late evening sun is leaving an orange tinge on the neighbours’ roofs and I can hear the gentle spray of flowers getting their evening water after being wilted by the day. It’s one of the funny evenings where I don’t have my little boy and the dinner-bath-bed routine to tend to (meaning my own gets quickly neglected) so I always try and ‘make the most of it’ (which always feels strange and contradictory to type) by doing something I don’t often do; and this feels like quite the way to do it. I also went to a vineyard today which definitely paints an image of me I’m not sure is entirely accurate or true in its sophistication- but I thought I’d divulge that information as it definitely adds to the scene (I promise not all Wednesday’s are like this)! Anyway- how are you all?!
