mindset

Hello from Brighton & London!

hello-london-brighton

Well, it’s been a month! The month we moved from London to Brighton. We wish we could say that it’s all been sun and fun but it’s been anything but. Change can definitely be chaotic. You know us, we believe that change is good, but chaos…well it’s just chaos! We are talking one solid month of builders in the flat almost every day making it impossible to settle in let alone unpack and get back to work! The pups thought it was great to have 5 new playmates every day!

We have put into practice every stress trick in the book, all the ones we share with you. Guess it worked since everyone involved has been amazed at how calm and reasonable we have continued to be. It is true, we have not yet thrown anyone off the terrace!

The pups love their new park and they love sniffing around in the garden at the Buddhist meditation centre right at the top of our street, we are talking chilled pups…Ommmmm.

You know us, from a moment of reflection to a moment of indulgence just down the street! Oh be still my heart.

The neighbourhood is quirky, elegant, interesting and full of lovely cafes and shops. Here is one of the beautiful squares just a 5 minute walk away. The architecture here is beautiful.

And the sea…well the views still takes us aback! We delightfully have sea views from every room in the flat. Now who could ask for more! We reinstated our Sunday morning ritual of breakfast out and headed towards the sea to experience the “brisk” winds and waves crashing. We had a few chuckles as the wind almost took us off our feet! We stopped all of a few seconds to snap this before a quick (helped by the tail wind!) retreat indoors! It doesn’t do it justice so we will have to practice our sea shots!

Back at the flat, we needed some art…pop art! We had to improvise. Who knows, next stop Serpentine Gallery!

So, finally after a crazy month both boxes and builders are gone and we can breathe again. We can’t wait to share with you all that can be discovered when you grab life by the crown!
