I think this is super important right now, to focus on a few of these things and try not to read/watch the news too much, if at all possible! I feel lucky, as walking my dog in nature is right up there on the top of the list of things that make me the happiest.

Also watching these short wonderful videos we made of our workers in Kenya and on location in Barbados, bring a smile to my face.I hope you enjoy them too. Please click on the link below:

Recipes I am loving: I have recently purchased Pru and Petra Leiths Vegetarian Cook Book and I am loving experimenting with the recipes, and there are loads of great baking recipes for those of you with kids.

Sustainable Compostable Coffee Capsules: I am not sure about you, but I seem to be getting through a lot of Coffee capsules at present...!! as I can't go and buy my daily Cappuccino from my favourite Coffee shop in London called Sendero.

But, I am delighted they are now selling online, their own delicious compostable Capsules and have recently been stocked in Selfridges and John Lewis.https://sendero-coffee.com/collections/our-products

For kids: The Getty Museum in Los Angeles challenged art fans to post photos of themselves recreating their favourite works of art from the safety of their homes.

Many of my friends have created their own wonderful artwork with their kids and had great fun at the same time. (See photo opposite)

While we are all spending more time at home we are beginning to see what needs doing or what we would like to change within our house. Two friends of mine have great businesses that are perfect for right now.

Help us, to help them

We are currently giving ALL the proceeds of one of my favourite products, Our Happy Cropped Organic Cotton T-shirt to: NHS Charities Together: COVID 19 Appeal, which will be providing amazing help and care to the NHS Heros and all their volunteers.

Thank you to all of you who have already bought one, we sold 75 in just 24 hrs, already raising £2,000 which is fantastic. We have another 35 to sell but only in sizes Large and XL, they do however come up a bit short therefore we would advise going up a size anyway.
