Where is Summer 2021?

Where is Summer 2021?

As I started to write this piece the rain was pouring whilst starting to watch the tennis at Wimbledon- should we expect anything less? To be honest it would not be the same if the sun shone throughout the whole fortnight anyway. What a fabulous finals we saw this weekend in the Woman's and Men's matches.  What can I say other than I cannot believe it is almost 3 months since the green light was given to reopen the Boutique and normality seems to be returning?

Here you come again....

Here you come again....

This Dolly Parton song seems quite apt dear reader as this uncertain period starts again. I cannot quite believe that I am writing this with just weeks to go before the year ends. It is easy to quote all the lows experienced by myself and close friends, family and clients in 2020, but I feel lots of positive things have happened too. The overall feeling of togetherness with the wonderful support you have shown me will never leave my memory. The small touches such as a quick message or popping your head around the door to say “Hi and am...
