The autumn/winter is very very very hectic, my inbox explodes, there's always a million things to get done, proper days off are few and far between and work takes over my life (especially when the Christmas posting deadlines start looming!). This year I was even busier than usual as I was writing my book...
Then the spring/summer (generally) tends to be much quieter, giving me a chance to catch up on jobs like admin and accounts, and to think about big plans & develop new ideas instead of just dealing with day-to-day tasks.
I spend less time at the computer, I have much more time to get creative and I have the freedom to set myself very flexible working hours.
Having a super flexible working week is one of the big perks of being self-employed... and after the workaholic madness of the busy season it's wonderful being able to slack off a bit and fill my schedule with afternoons spent drinking tea, gossiping and enjoying the sunshine!
Here I am, doing exactly that:
Tea + cake + a lovely cafe garden + not-very-warm-but-still-lovely spring sunshine + catching up with an old friend = happy days :)

Oh hi- nice to meet you! :)
I've recently discovered your blog and I'm really enjoying it. I love the goldfinch!(I'm a bird lover) and your books look so inspiring. I'm a tea+scone addict, so I know how good it feels to have those well deserved moments!

Jo & Mopo - it was an AMAZING cup of tea, lovely loose leaf Earl Grey, and that muffin was a total bargain for how huge it was. Love the pretty crockery too. Definitely a new favourite cafe!
Jumbleberries - I would spend all my afternoons this way if I could :D
lisbonlioness - hello to you! :)
Irina - thankyou! I hope you continue to enjoy the blog xxx
I like this picture very much. That muffin was quite tasty.
