C'est fini and what I've learnt from taking a break

Keeping the holiday feeling  when you're back to real life It is with sadness that I am now writing about la fin de nos vacances 🙁 but ooh la la what a fabulous time we’ve had. It feels like we’ve been away for months rather than just a couple of weeks. We’ve had a brilliant balance of doing things, seeing places, relaxing and recharging our batteries. We’ve enjoyed the most delicious food and wine and had some culture too. The weather has been wonderful, late summer is my favourite time of year to visit France. It’s not too hot and it has that delightful autumnal glow about it.   We ended our grand tour de France 🇫🇷 in the region of Picardie, an area of France we’ve come to know and love very much. Our base was the chic little town of St Valery sur Somme on the Baie de Somme. It’s a fabulous place for walking, running, cycling, kayaking, sailing and bird watching. The French word for bird is oiseau (pronounced ‘wazzo’) which always makes me gig...

So, now is the perfect time during February to up the ante a little bit, let's take a few more baby steps so we are ready to emerge all guns blazing ready for the start of Spring in March. Let's do some reflection on January: What di...

Adding value from a distance

No-one can make you feel inferior  without your consent Eleanor Roosevelt This is one of my favourite quotes which I've used many times in my blogs, as it serves as a great reminder that ultimately it's ourselves who are in control of our emotions.  We may not think so at times but it really is down to us in terms of choosing to be happy, sad, guilty, angry and I'm sure that many of us are struggling with our emotions right now, myself included. As we continue in our quest to get to grips with working from home, I've realised that it's all too easy to let your mind wander down the path of negativity and comparison.  When you're physically in work, your boss and colleagues can see what you're doing and how hard you're working.  It's a different matter now that we're all separated and working from home.  I know I'm still working hard and putting the hours in but how do you get that across to your boss and colleagues.  It's hard...
