Instagram post 2251791941481515891_41401028 Home sweet home 🏡 . After a 40 hour journey back from the Alps, home has never felt so good. If you didn’t catch my oversharing on stories yesterday, you won’t know that our car broke down on the French motorway. A word of advice from me to you: always check your car thoroughly before driving through France because our beloved AA mechanics do not exist over there! After an overnight stay in the middle of nowhere, two hire cars to Calais (worst 2 hours of my life 🙈🙃), a (choppy) ferry ride and a taxi from Dover, all 6 of us are finally home. The broken car remains the other side of the channel but that’s an issue for another day. Most of our dirty washing also remains in said car, so goodness knows what it will smell like by the time it is returned to us in 14 days! SO good to be back home where this little puppy dog has showered me with cuddles all day. Dogs really are the best welcome home gift. #neverdrivingtothealpsagain #whosaidlandroverswereinvinsible #holidayswithteens #dogstagram #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs

Instagram post 2242949429937477474_41401028 I don’t think you realise how long your mojo has been gone, until you feel it returning. Welcoming mine back with open arms this week: one girlie weekend away booked, many outstanding jobs ticked off the list, a utility room reorganised and some daffodils bought. I think spring might just be around the corner folks. Hang on in there. #101thingsthatmakemesmile #midlife #littleloves #mojo #myhousethismonth #lovemyhome #springflowers
Instagram post 2237940959630746371_41401028 My mind naturally whirrs at about 300 miles an hour, with a cacophony of thoughts rampaging through it with little care for what is left behind. One way I’ve learnt to quieten it, is to walk in nature, just me and my dogs. To spend time looking up and gazing at the vastness of the trees. This was an hour well spent today. How do you look after your mental health? #timetotalk #mentalhealth #mindfulness #lookup #naturephotography #beyondthesefourwalls #101thingsthatmakemesmile #littleloves
