Even having got through my massive pile of ironing this evening has left me feeling a bit clever, and deriving such a sense of achievement out of this means I will ultimately be beside myself tomorrow if I can pull off the chicken stew recipe I have set my sights on.\u00a0 Lord knows what will happen if I also manage to hoover the hall. I might need an early night&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>On a actually slightly more truely exciting note, I have achieved my first tiny baby step in breaking it into the &#8216;creative&#8217; workplace after the very talented <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emmalappinflowers.com\/\">Emma Lappin<\/a> has agreed to give me some experience\u00a0 and a valuable insight into what it is like to be a florist in demand. I&#8217;m hoping to soak up a bit of inspiration and see where it takes me &#8211; something I consider to be rather prudent following news at my current place of employment of the latest budget cuts, which has left me feeling a tad uncertain but also happily curious about the future unknown.<\/p>\n<p>So for now I&#8217;m holding on to my hat, feeling inspired, and grateful that things are moving forward- and for lots of other people too right now.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and by the way the photo of one of my favourite places &#8211; Beacon Hill in Boston. I defy anyone to visit there and not want a piece of this very hip and happening (in a lovely twee sort of way) part of this city.\u00a0 I definitely need to go back there when I have saved enough for a good camera and have learnt how to use it too. It is a really great place to get &#8216;ideas&#8217; though and I have a whole collection of photos of shop signs and streets and even someone&#8217;s dog&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a cool dog.
