Baby Steps

Well this week has been the start of a great new adventure for me. Juggling children and endless 60th birthday celebrations and starting a fantastic new career. I never thought I would actually find a path that suits me in every way. But Garden and Landscape design it is.

We all met up this week in Oxford Brookes and embarked on an intensive year long post-grad course. We will be the best of the best, elite, top gun designers by the end. Watch out.

The thing I have loved most so far is the fact I am cutting, gluing and sticking squares. I should rope in the girls to help. They might be my inspiration as I really think children have an unadulterated view on life and simple is the key to great design.

Now all there is to do this week is finish my Ben Nicholson inspired art and attend yet another 60th bash at the gherkin, do the corporate wife thing again, and then knuckle down to some work. My head is ready for a challenge and for once my heart is following suit. All I have to do is figure out how to do it!
