#WednesdayWisdom : it’s good to stop every once in a while ✨ My pal Karen and I are both self-employed, so there’s no real office party for us 🥳🙁 We’ve been friends for 30 years, and we know each other pretty well - and neither of us is very good at pausing to celebrate our achievements.

We discovered the BEST bookshop in #Falmouth this weekend - Beerwolf Books - an alehouse and exquisitely curated indie bookshop in one nookishly cosy location ✨
🌱 These dark evenings are forcing me out of bed on some brutally early dog walks this winter, but when you get to see the sun rise it really does feel worth it .... 🌱
