Hi there, sorry, seems I disappeared again.
After the amazing Italian road trip and saying goodbye to my brother I was feeling really flat. My husband’s new work hours for the first few months of the shop opening mean that I’m alone most evenings and the loneliness/homesickness really set in.
Working from home for yourself definitely has its perks but a big challenge is feeling isolated – sure there is Twitter and Facebook but there’s no teamwork or chats over a coffee break. Couple that with the challenge of moving to a new country where you don’t know anyone and I was well and truly down in the dumps.
After moping around for a few days I decided work was the answer and that it was time to meet nice people at nice coffee shops. There’s a few exciting things on the work horizon that I can’t reveal yet (soon though!) and I’m back to feeling optimistic and excited about where I’m at.
P.S. The newsletter will be back this week! Thanks for all your emails about it!

Hi Clare
It was so lovely to finally meet you in person, have a laugh and to be reminded of why I am doing what I am doing.
Thanks for continuing to be an inspiration and I look forward to hearing about what you’ve next got planned. Look forward to the newsletter too!
P.S. Thanks for the link above, we must do coffee again soon!
