Yogie time - Vancouver-style

Now the sun is beginning to shine, the 'yogis' of Vancouver are swapping venue - from studios to the great outdoors.



I've signed up for twenty classes with Pacific Bliss Yoga that does classes on Kitsilano beach, a three minute walk from our apartment.

I've had two classes so far. The first was in the pouring rain and we took shelter under trees; the second was in glorious sunshine.

Whatever the weather, yoga outside is truly amazing - it's so much more impactful than a stuffy studio.

Yes I'm riding the Vancouver 'hippy wave' and I invite you all to come along for the ride...

Returning from a trip to the Motherland

We're back from a trip to our 'Motherland' - AKA England - and what a trip it was!

It included:
- Tash & Mitch's wonderful wedding
- Kate & Will's wonderful wedding
- A day all to myself with my bestest - Sarah Spain
- My birthday (oh, and that twinling of mine's birthday too)
- A few nights in Cliveden, a magical country home of history & beauty

It was a whirlwind trip & it will take some time to recover! Here are a few of my favourite moments...

The newly wedded Kate alongside Clare, who wouldn't leave the champers alone...


Me and David playing on the tree swing in Mum and Dad's new pad...


My whole family in one place to celebrate our birthdays!!


And the Gilmour family relaxing outside our cottage in Cliveden - which is special for many reasons:


A magical two weeks. Now back to the daily grind on serious jet-lag...
