So it turns out the dream I had back in November about my slow fashion clothing label having been chosen to show the Whispers of Dùthchas collection internationally wasn’t a dream after all. Yep so now not only am I knee deep in moving boxes as we try to prepare our house for sale, I am also being wholly distracted by planning for a trip overseas, that coincidentally lands at the very same time that my side kick offspring turns 18!

So how's your day been so far my dear? My morning began so beautifully with a surprisingly early start allowing for a strong caffeinated cup of English breakfast tea out on our newly built (yet to be finished) garden deck.

So I found a bunch of drafts on here, that at some stage I’d obviously had the intention of editing - making good enough to share - and then ‘floof’ more time passed and well other things came along and what can I say, my mind is an unhinged screw that at times becomes so precariously loose that there is a very real risk of the whole thing falling apart.
