I’ve only ever ventured as far as Paris when I’ve been to France (and that was a loonngg time ago) but arriving here in the southwest for a few days of magic time with @annacoatesyoga feels almost like coming home. What a stunningly beautiful part of the world it is. Endless fields of green and gold, and a big big sky that makes me feel so small (the good kind of small) I have a feeling (and a hope) that this won’t be my last trip here.
.
I love my work, and I LOVE being back in the bakery more again at the moment, but we all benefit from creating little blocks of time when we are being and not doing, to let our hearts catch up with our heads and to remember where we are (and who we are), reflect on where we’ve been and think about where we’re headed. It doesn’t have to be in another country on a retreat (I totally appreciate how lucky I am to be able to be here), I think it can also just be a few quiet moments shut away in the bathroom with the excuse of needing the loo if that’s all the time we have.
.
What matters is the listening in, and noticing what’s going on, being in the ‘right now’ moment rather than racing through it on our way to the next thing.
.
It’s hard when we live in such a hurrying world, but it’s not impossible. ❤️

You know how much we love glitter at the bakery so imagine how much we enjoyed making these biscuits for @howtoglitteraturd and Kris book release last year. If you haven’t read How to glitter a turd yet, you should. It’s a beautiful and brilliant book and it deserves a spot on everyone’s bookshelf 💕

On Thursday night I had a little guest speaker slot at the @frommetoyouletters letter writing workshop. It was such a privilege to be asked, and a real treat to take part in the workshop too, and get some creativity flowing with ideas for summer postcard and letter writing.
.
I love the magic of words. I love sitting alone writing, and feeling so connected to who my words are for (even when I don’t know them which is a big part of @frommetoyouletters donate a letter scheme) I love thinking about what those words might mean to someone else, and how they might just make a day a tiny bit brighter. I love writing just for me too, journalling or writing creatively just to explore and express myself. It gently untangles so many of the threads in my brain and that is so helpful.
.
Someone said to me last week that our new biscuits are a bit like a mini edible letter and that made me so happy.
.
When I was young I was always writing stories, through school English was always my favourite subject, and at uni I’d regularly write to my Dad and my Nan, but over the years I stopped creating with words. This year, through journalling workshops (thank you @frankandfeel ), letter writing and creating for the biscuits, I feel like I’m rediscovering something that’s a really big part of who I am and it’s such a joy.
.
Do you feel the same about writing? Or rediscovering something in your grown up-ness that you loved as a child and that makes you feel like ‘you’ again? It’s a good feeling isn’t it.

Well it’s safe to say wedding season is upon us!

Well it’s safe to say wedding season is upon us! We had some really lovely feedback from a bride yesterday to let us know her wedding favour biscuits had arrived safely and to tell us how much she loved them. It made my whole day ❤️
