If you'd like to see more of the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica that they didn't manage to show on Celebrity Race Across The World, we have a stunning holiday rental set in the hills of secondary rainforest near to the Panama border. DM me if you'd like details.

I'm not doing Black Friday discounts this year.
It’s just me in my Manchester studio. I can't compete with big brands slashing prices.
Every purchase keeps my tiny business going.

I lost a dear friend and colleague this year, Sue.
She was a wonderful human, a real force of nature. She was my “work mum” & she used to pick leaves out of my hair and look after me 🥲

I am helping to raise money for The Christie Charity, who looked after Sue💘
