Snow in two countries!

March ended up being the busiest month so far this year. Maybe it was because Easter was so early, or maybe it was just because I had so many interesting projects on the go all at once. I held a workshop for mums and mums to be at a brand new (and very lovely) members only spa in Putney called Cupcakemum. There are more workshops to come during the spring on weaning and pregnancy nutrition specifically, and I'm also looking forward to sampling their spa facilities.

For Easter we decided to have a little break and booked a B&B in North Norfolk for a couple of nights. For a while now it has been my dream to own a barn conversion when I grow up, so I was excited to find a B&B in a recently converted barn. And I wasn't disappointed. The barn itself was gorgeous, our bedroom probably bigger than our lounge with a lovely roll top bath, and the breakfast was just simply fabulous. I guess I would go an about the food, it being one of my big passions in life, but it's so refreshing to get something a bit different from the cheap sausages and greasy bacon that often make up the traditional cooked breakfast. Instead we got fresh berries and fruit with yoghurt and muesli, followed by homemade wholemeal bread, warm croissants, homemade jams, cold cuts and some lovely smelly French cheeses. So some healthy bits combined with a few treats, and about thousand times more tasty than the basic English breakfast. The owners were absolutely lovely too, and very helpful in recommending places to see and which pubs offered best food. I would highly recommend them! We nearly got snowed in on Easter Monday and the country side looked very idyllic covered in about an inch of snow.

Then it was off to Finland and a bit more snow the following week. I'd been asked to do some lecturing at a natural health institute for trainee reflexologists and art therapists in the fundamentals of nutritional therapy. Great chance to visit the family and do some work at the same time. I love lecturing and we ended up having great lively conversations about how difficult it is to know what foods are actually good for you because of marketing and advertising messages that are often just there to sell the products rather than looking out for our health.

So here we are now in April, and the next big thing on my list is going to be re-launching my web-site. I've been working on some new content to make the site more useful and informative, and it's finally nearly there. Watch this space!
