You write it, and I will come. That's it. I'll always, always want to read what you've written Amber, no matter the frequency!

I think I'd have stayed down south if I were in that same car situation too... cars breaking down are the WORST!! Plus, so glad your nephew's OH said yes, I always panic in those public proposals that the proposee is going to say no, eep!!!!! x

Thank you, lovely 💗 And I know what you mean about the proposals … in this case they’d discussed getting married, so he was pretty sure she’d say yes, but he was still really nervous (and so was I, watching them! 😆) It was really lovely, though - and now we get a family wedding to look forward to!

I love the photo of the bubble waffle shop a.k.a. the current world-wide definition of an urbanized area from the perspective of small-town people. :D

And I am this weird kind of reader who perfers if you miss sending the occasional post than being overwhelmed by too many great newsletters in my inbox. Quality matters very much over quantity in this regard!

Haha, I just used it because it was pink and so matched my aEsThEtIc, but that's definitely an interesting take!

I took 3 weeks off to care for my 3 year old and 9 month old during the summer holidays and let me tell you, I counted down the days until I could return to work (and drink my coffee hot, use the restroom whenever I needed, and basically could SIT DOWN for more than .3 seconds 🙈). Also never thought that would be me as a mom but here we are 🤷‍♀️

Thank you saying that! I feel like such a terrible mum, but I honestly find the school holidays so hard. The winter ones are normally the worst because the weather means we're all cooped up in the house constantly, but this summer has been so wet it's felt like lockdown all over again 😫

About the boys in the house…just wait til they’re teenagers!!!

They get really big and eat all your food! When you ask them “why are you guys ALWAYS at my house”??? They’ll tell you it’s because they’ve already been kicked out of everyone else’s…

Then, suddenly when they start to drive and disappear and you’ll miss them terribly !

Oh, they’re already eating all the food! The first thing they do when they walk in is ask for snacks 😆
