We began this week by watching Archie play cricket before returning to school.

We’ve all had the happiest of half terms, surrounded by loved ones, enjoying the fresh air and generally having the best of fun together.

It’s always a sad time when he leaves to return to school, but it is getting easier and he loves it so much! Which reassures me no end.

Meanwhile at home, the AGA is officially off and the air fryer is in full swing! I’ve recently shared a recipe for my favourite chicken thighs and asparagus, so do check that out by clicking the link below.

I give you a quick greenhouse update, including a little chat about pinching out tomatoes off-shoots so they focus on the main growth - meaning big and juicy tomatoes!

I made a visit to my hypnotherapist Katherine Finn which left me feeling very zen, and had my routine facial with the lovely Wendy at the Lodsworth Clinic.

I also take you through my looks for the races - I’ve had a few questions regarding race day attire for Goodwood or Ascot, so I had some fun and dressed up in my finest! Including some preloved pieces from Julianna Heale, high street items and vintage pieces from my Grandmother.

I then share an exclusive discount for my holiday lets.

Bratton Mill in North Devon is perfect for a family adventure, dog friendly, has some beautiful walks right on the doorstep, and the most serene surroundings. A few weeks during the Summer holidays are still available, so I’d love for you to snap them up and experience it for yourselves! Book direct with me for 20% off your stay.

Lastly, I chat a little more about the Members Club and the things we’ve been up to this month! From a skincare expert webinar focusing on Summer skin protection, to perfect picnic food and effective vacuuming - it’s been a fabulous June of collaboration and fun already!

I hope you enjoy watching,

Love, Charlie x
