It was always quite important for me that whoever I married got on with my family. . The first time Mr V met my brother, he took us to dinner at The Savile Club. . I only have 1 sibling but I can’t say I was nervous about the experience. . Despite my brother being older, he never fit the over-protective, critical, no-one-is-good-enough-for-my-sister archetype, plus they had things in common so I knew they’d get on. I was right. . In a world where we are quick to admonish men, tarring the majority with the same brush as the brutish few, I want to highlight and celebrate two of [a few wonderful] men that I’m grateful for. My father is pretty special too. . Tag and thank the awesome men in your life.

Smile. . It can hide or reveal a multitude of emotions. . What brings you joy?

“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.” - Joseph Addison . For the sake of my physical, mental and emotional health, I started doing a little exercise, 4-5 times a week, each morning. . I’d be lying if I said I love it but as my mum always tells me, the pain of discipline is outweighed by the pain of regret. I don’t want to regret not doing what I set out to do so I moved! And I hope to keep moving.
