Hello again.

It’s been a hot one, hasn’t it, for those of us here in London.

I must say I’ve been struggling with this heat to keep going and some days I’ve only managed to work until around lunch time and then I’ve just tried to not do too much as moving around seems to make me hotter!

But, of course, the sunshine is beautiful and since I’m not taking a summer holiday this year it’s lovely to be able to know the sun will be shining each day. For that, I’m grateful.

Do you press delete or save it for inspiration at a later date?

Whatever you’re working on i hope you’re having fun!

With much love, Soulla xxx
