Fab day in Richmond Park today with the Nonni’s and the dogs! 🦌 🍂

My little adventurer and I wandered through the sprawling woodlands, spotting all the deer, and took in the beautiful autumn colours. Moments like these with my favorite little sidekick make my heart so full. 🧡 Half term adventures are the best! Now time to head home and catch up on some emails and cuddles 🥰 #halfterm #autumn #workingmum

It’s been a busy few days dusting off my video editing skills. I’ve stared at the screen so much, I think I’ve forgotten how to blink. Send eye drops! 😵‍💫💻

And yes, I do realise the irony of leaving my big screen to do video editing, only to come to my little screen… to do more video editing. 🙃

“I bet she’ll be pretty”
They say at her cot,
I wonder what this means so I ask “pretty what?”
“Pretty bold? Pretty bright? Pretty wise, loud, and brave?”
Ah, but they just mean her face, and they hope she’ll behave
But I hope my daughter doesn’t do as she’s told,
As long as she’s safe, I hope my daughter is bold,
She questions the world, she’ll fight as she stands,
She knows that she has powers as great as any man,
She’s sporty and creative, she has so much to say,
She’s kind and inquisitive, she changes the world each day,
When she becomes a teen I know the world will seem tight,
But a small box to fill and then she’ll be right,
I hope she knows her beauty doesn’t come from her face,
That being a woman doesn’t mean knowing your place,
That I hope she’s happy and fights for her choice,
Yes I hope my future daughter always uses her voice.

Celebrating all little girls this International Day of the Girl Child.
