The prompt for Day 3 of the @thela_edit @theinspirationalsocialclub challenge is floral Friday.
As a designer I always end up spending way too much time sitting working in front of a computer, so in my down time I like to take things a little more slowly . . .

I’ve recently started watercolour painting - and I have to say I’m really enjoying it - I love having the space and time to just relax and be. My subject of choice at the moment is of course flowers - here’s a little something that I’m working on at the moment.  Have a Happy Easter wherever you are 🌷 xx

Today’s prompt for the@thela_edit @theinspiratio

Today’s prompt for the@thela_edit @theinspirationalsocialclub is what book, or books do you find inspirational during this time.

For any of you who know me well, will know that I absolutely looooooove books - I have bookshelves full of them which I had shipped down to Mallorca from our old home in Scotland! As well as my trusty graphic design and design business books, I also have a real passion for cook books and interior design books - what can I say delicious food and a beautiful home are very important to me!

Narrowing it down was difficult, but at this moment in time I keep being drawn to For The Love Of White by Chrissie Rucker (founder of @thewhitecompany). The interior shots are just stunning, and the homes featured in it are just the most perfect havens of calm and tranquility - the sort of places that you would absolutely love to be locked down in. OK, so our homes may not be so perfect and quiet at the moment, but that doesn’t stop us from day dreaming . . .

So, I'm curious, are you also a bit of a bookworm like me? What book is inspiring you at the moment?

I’ve been struggling a little at the moment with what to post on here, so is was very serendipitous that @thela_edit launched her @theinspirationalsocialclub challenge. The aim is to build and support community, but it is also an inspirational and creative challenge, and I think this is exactly what we need at this tumultuous time.
The prompt for Day 1 is what is your morning drink? Well, for me it has to be tea - controversial, I know! And, it’s not just any old tea - oh no not for me - it has to be rooibos. I first discovered rooibos almost three years ago, whilst attending @thebrand_stylist Retreat @calreiet and I have managed (more or less) to keep off the caffeine since then. At first I had shocking headaches, but now I feel so much better for it, and I even sleep better too - so that is a definite plus!

So, are there any more rooibos tea drinkers out there? 📷 @katiespicerphotography

Hola, so how are you all doing today?  We’re now on Day 17 of lockdown here in #Mallorca, Spain, and apart from my weekly trips to the supermarket, I have not really been out of the house since lockdown begun (unless you call hanging my washing out on the terrace “out”) and, unlike the UK we’re not allowed out to do any form of exercise. We are quite lucky though, as we do have various terraces where we can sit out, and look over beautiful treetop views to the local park and down the marina and out to the Mediterranean Sea, but it’s not the same as actually getting out there in nature . . .
I thought I was doing OK, however I did have a bit of a “wobble” at the weekend - I find the weekends are the toughest time as I’m not working. Under normal circumstances, my husband and I would take ourselves off somewhere for a long walk just to explore this gorgeous island. It makes me really sad to be missing out on one of my favourite seasons here - everything is just so green and lush, and oh my, the wildflowers here at the moment, well, they are just stunning 😍. On the plus side however, everything is just so peaceful and quiet - you could almost here a pin drop! That is until our resident blackbird begins to sing his little heart out on our rooftop every evening as dusk falls. It is such a small thing, but listening to him, living his best life, reminds us that we are very lucky indeed, sometimes we just need that little reminder . . .
Stay safe wherever you are 😘
