GHOSTING This week on my podcast “In All Honesty

One day I went for a walk and came across a bench.

One day I went for a walk and came across a bench. There were bushes on either side and then a random clearing where a bench had been built. I fell in love with it and thought it belonged out of a romcom. I coined it my romcom lake.

When I came back to the house, I asked if anyone else had noticed this bench. Turns out, an old couple who lives next door, used to go there everyday to feed the ducks but they don’t anymore cause they can’t walk that far. I said the bench was a bit wobbly but it was really beautiful and they should go check it out one day.

The next day I was having a miserable day and working away when I heard a tap at the window and an insistence that I just need to get out of the house and go for a walk and “we’ll even go on your favourite walk to the bench”. So I obliged. We brought the dog but as we approached the bench, I could see a red sign at the bench. Turns out it was a tractor and they were digging up the bench that I said was wobbly and building me a new one 😭

Despite the picture, I didn’t help much with the digging but they said if I loved the bench so much, we should make it special. So we covered it in primer and then went to town on it. You know how I preach about having hobbies you are shit at. Well painting is one of those things that I’m no good at, but really love doing so we mucked about, my top and leggings pretty much ended up in paint and my inner child had the best time!

And now I have my very own bench with my name and everything!
Life as an adult can get too grim and serious. Sometimes you just need to be a kid for a day! I highly recommend it 🥰

AD Could I be any snugglier?

I had a little nosy on @tkmaxxuk (online!) and look what I discovered. Wrapped in the cosiest blanket and got some socks that put a smile on my face! Or a smile on my feet 😂 I love that TK Maxx partnered with the Cancer Research UK for Children & Young People for Christmas which means they have just launched a new range of festive gifts in which a percentage of each item sold goes to help the charity! With the help of their customers, TK Maxx have raised £37 million since 2004 and the money helps to fund vital research across the UK to improve survival and reduce long-term effects for children and young people battling cancer. As a young person who was in and out of hospital myself, it’s a cause close to my heart, and buying a small gift can make such a big difference! I love that a gift for someone else (or yourself!) is also a gift to give back to those who need our help.

How are you going to Gift Better this Christmas? #TKMaxx #BetterGifting
