Going fast and Going Slow.



Yet more old photographs I'm afraid. Still waiting for the return of our computer and thus still using ye old and slow laptop in the meantime. Things could be worse though as I can at least access my orders and believe me, dealing with orders is pretty much all I seem to do these days.



It has been unbelievably busy with midnight seeming an old friend as I work away on the ever-increasing invoice list. The Notonthehighstreet Christmas catalogue is now out and orders for my Garden Journal have gone through the roof, far exceding the projected order figures.



This is all fantastic news and definitely helps to build my belief in what I am doing though I do miss eating properly, cooking properly, sleeping for a whole night and of course, blogging but that is more down to the lack of a decent computer. Hopefully it will return to us soon.



Watch this space! In the meantime, I will dip into blogs when I can though leaving comments is beyond my patience for now as it takes sooo long on the laptop.

Missing you all. Have fun x

  1. They may be old but they are beautiful - the photos I mean! Don't get too tired and frustrated - we can wait for you to come back when things slow down a little. After all anything worth having is worth waiting for! Take care.

  16. I am completely over the moon to hear how busy you are - its wonderful that people are discovering your gorgeous work! I hope your computer soon returns, strange as it may seem, they are often like extra limbs that we feel we have lost when something goes wrong with them aren't they?!

    Hope you manage to find yourself a few scoops of Me Time in the midst of all your lovely busy~ness!

    Sending love
