3rd March - The Week That Was

Well, it's been a busy busy week here - one of those weeks that was so full of good things, it flew by in the blink of an eye so here's a little round up of what Candid Apple have been up to this week and, in true work/life balance way, not all of it is 'industry' related...

• Son back to school after half term and in 'summer uniform of shorts - this makes me look forward to longer, warmer days.
• Mornings and evenings being noticeably lighter this week.
• Lovely shopping trip with my Mum and the purchase of a new baking book.
• Writing lots and lots of features and blogs for various weddingy people and loving it.
• The amazing and inspiring Ellie Simmonds opening the swimming pool at son's school and son being chosen to ask her a question.
• Collecting our gorgeous, beautiful and really rather wonderful new dog and bringing her home.
• Being contacted by a real hidden gem of a venue and arranging to meet them.
• Son's school choir taking part in a choral day and watching their performance in the stunning chapel at Wellington College.
• Being sent some truly gorgeous wedding photos to use for features.
• Son's birthday - complete with party tea, fancy cake, balloons and lots of gifts.
• Playing the garden with the dog.
• Meeting up with Julie Tooby for a good industry chat and laughing a lot.
• Enjoying a last minute request for some copy - all written, all on time and all on word-count!
• Son's choir competing in a festival, doing incredibly well and being so impressed with the teaching staff's dedication.
• Booking myself onto Emily Quinton's September photography workshop.
• Deciding which endurance walking challenge I'll be doing this year!
