today i have woken to the sound of torrential rain before my 5am alarm, and as i emerge from my warm toasty bed i realise i need my mountain socks for what feels like an autumnal morning.
i love all the seasons, so the blending into the next only makes me appreciate what’s to come, the transformation of the trees from the vibrant primary colour green, to the beautiful hues of yellow, orange and brown, and as i sit here thinking of autumns past, i remember my childhood walking through highgate woods kicking through the leaves, loving that rustling sound, and how the sun hangs low in the sky lighting the world in a different way.
our wardrobes will change, and we will apply more layers, but we adapt, and the thought of walking through the woods with betty and otto kicking through the disregarded leaves fills me with warm anticipation, i am loving being a grandparent and hearing betty call me ‘papa j’ makes my heart melt, i could not have designed this relationship to be more beautiful.
so here we are, another week and another blog, how has your week been dear blog reader, good i hope?
mine has been great fun, we are now recruiting, which feels similar to the change of season, and we have some fab candidates, so we will be interviewing next week, which is exciting.
we are also moving our offices, due to our current landlord selling our current home, but we have signed a deal on our new abode, and will be moving in soon, again, an extremely exciting time.
i also took a trip to london with tania, to recharge our batteries, and we stayed at one of our fave places, the good hotel, which is an amazing floating hotel, with a beautiful ethos.
“good hotel is a social business. this means that our excess profits go to good causes around the world. good hotel provides long-term unemployed people with
the opportunity to build a career in hospitality and we’re conscious about the way we build our hotels. we find interesting locations to re-use and up-cycle,
and from the furniture in our rooms to the food we serve – we source locally and sustainably.”
