Last weekend, we jumped in the car and headed to the chocolate box village of Salthouse in Norfolk, for a weekend stay at Pembroke Cottage. As our car pulled into the farm house style drive way, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. Our life in London, felt like a distant memory as …

I love women doing it for themselves. So this week I am shining the spot light on the talented Kate Bodell, the author and illustrator of children's book Bumbelinda. We find out abit more about Kate, her inspirations for her truly wonderful book as well as who she would invite to her ultimate dinner party. There is so much to say about Kate so I’ll let you enjoy her fabulous interview.
Bumbelinda is not your typical airy fairy type, she lives at the bottom of the garden in a smelly grotto, filled with creepy crawlies and nasty smells. She’s not keen on pink and her wand is a fly swat. She has “wonky wings” and a “tu-tu that’s gone poo poo”. Her job is to grant meanie wishes.

After lunch the characters play lots of fun games with the audience. The show was really interactive and great for that post lunch lull.
Yesterday the kids & I baked. We made 12 eggless cakes, which meant licking the bowl at the end was allowed. I was a little worried that they wouldn’t taste as good but they infact tasted better.

You have to be prepared to evolve with the times too, particularly with social media as it’s one of the best ways of keeping your business current and marketing it successfully.

The terrible twos is filled with tears, tantrums and now tiaras. Yes, Olivia has turned from the good girl on the block to Nikki Grahame (Big Birthday circa 2006). I can hear my Mum in my conscious saying “well who does this remind you of”. I’m pretty sure she means Niki Grahame, as I was angel.
