Like any girl with a dream I build the castle in my head as soon as the thought is there. Of course it’s a brilliant looking castle, pretty and sparkly. And it makes me impatient because I want to get into really building that castle right now and move in.
A while back I read an article about the benefit of taking a break during the working day. It talked of the usual suspects of getting up, making a cup of tea or coffee, or chatting to a colleague, but it also mentioned how using the internet can provide this
This has been one of those weeks that feels like two. But not in a bad way. More in a a lot has happened kind of way where you look back, slightly puzzle that it was just a few days ago.
We’ve had more rain than ever before (or at least in a really long time) here in London over the past month. But the sun is finally out and I’m having the whole day off.

Science says there are a number of benefits to meditation. D has been doing it for a few years and swears by it. On Tuesday we were talking about meditation after work with the team and one of the girls mentioned that she’s using a service for meditation that, what
