Sydney Here We Come


Oh my gosh I am SO excited, the taxi is arriving in half an hour to take us to the airport, first stop Singapore for a friends wedding & then onto Sydney for a 3 month house exchange.
What about Belle & Boo I hear you ask?
Well I am leaving it in the very safe & capable hands of Kate & the girls in Bristol.
Whilst they are dealing with the day to day running of the business, I am taking a bit of time out for me & I am going to be working on the first Belle & Boo book.
Did I mention I am VERY excited !


PS Also very excited to have had our Lovely Day bag chosen to feature in this years Red Direct Christmas Catalogue.

See you on the other side of the world x

  29. Wow, 3 months in Aus.. very envious - I only managed 3 weeks in Aus this year... although I have every intention of moving down under! Good luck and have a great time. Don't forget that Singapore Airport has an outdoor swimming pool and a bar area which make a very necessary break from the air con on the planes and inside the airports. I'd go that way every time now!
