Another lovely read , a great start before head to work - it’s freezing though and I so don’t want to get my woolly hat out! I’m gutted my dentist has left the practise I go to. Felt so safe in her hands, yes I agree don’t think AI can take over. The chaos will all be worth it Have lovely week 😍
There’s nothing like ruining something beloved is there? I did it with a dress - no recovery on that one - and I’m still in mourning. Can’t wait to hear all about the kitchen.
My heart gave a lurch for you hearing about the emotional rollercoaster you’re having parenting a teen. I remember, all too vividly, properly sobbing all the way to CarFest a few years ago as my then 15 year old son refused to come with us-the WHOLE two hour journey -to the point where my husband was wondering if this experience wasn’t going to be quite the joyful and happy day Chris Evans had promised 😅 It was such a struggle realising, and accepting, that the little person who hugged freely and just wanted my attention to make him happy was growing up, and it was now me who needed that from him. It’s the little glimpses of light in between the rejection that you start to hold on to but it’s a tough road for us mums for sure!x
This feels familiar, I have to try not to mind when son no 2 and I go to watch our local rugby team play (we have season tickets just the 2 of us) and he clears off at half time to go and sit with his buddies! I'm left sipping my pint alone!
I remember when my daughter was a teenager, she also really hated me, but then I had friends who had older children. They told me to hang on for a couple of years, she will come back. She did, and spent her early 20s telling me how sorry she was for the way she behaved! So try and hang on, it’s horrible but totally normal. (Although it feels absolutely awful) your relationship with come back .
Wish I had the energy! Have a very long walk from car to house as well - that is well worth while but a deterrent for carrying things. However, now have incredible urge to get to my garden centre. Thank you.

It’s at the stage right now where I’m wondering if I’ll ever see it. 😬

What a gorgeous painting! And stuffing shrunken cashmere is something I haven't tried, I normally just give up at the crying stage!
Stunning roses Laetitia! Can you share the name please? The black support is also divine :-).
