My life outside of Instagram 💙
Even when work is crazy busy
Even when overwhelm hits
Even with Christmas approaching
I escape

Because I know it heals me to come up here.
Because there’s nothing more magical than dipping freezing fingers into a bag of beef hulahoops while watching buzzards circling and crying in the valley a hundred metres below
Because the giggles as we stumble across bogs, muddy up to our knees, stay with me all week
Because this is me
Because this is us
Strength, freedom and independence is everything

🌟 Tag your favourite E names! 🌟⁠
I love the variety of ideas coming through the calligraphy studio right now! This piece was created as a collaboration with my amazing friend and currently Queen of the Baubles lovely @swann.amy - whose stunning illustration adorns the 23 carat gold E. ⁠
⁠
These are available in my @notonthehighstreet store. They're very limited availability until Christmas - but I'd love to write a handful more. ⁠

How to lay out your family tree - EVERYTHING you n

How to lay out your family tree - EVERYTHING you need to know right here. (Save for later by tapping the bookmark icon below) ⁠
⁠
The lovely thing about ordering a modern family tree is that it doesn’t have as many rules as the traditional type! ⁠
⁠
🌟 Here are my 5 golden rules for your modern family tree layout🌟⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Eldest at the top! This is usually 👵🏻👴🏻 Grandma and Grandad, or Mum and Dad. You can use their names (Bob and Mildred) or cosy titles (Pops and Mumsy) - add as much love to your tree as you can!⁠
⁠
2️⃣ Family lasagna! Try to get each generation on roughly the same level - grandparents, parents, kids, grandkids⁠
⁠
3️⃣ Keep it casual! Don’t panic if John is 6mm below Susan or if there’s a little gap between a couple. The beauty of family is that you’re all a part of one wonderful whole - so feel free to mix it up and have names scattered around⁠
⁠
4️⃣ Remember Snuggles! 🐰 I’ve included dogs, cats, rabbits and a tortoise on family trees. They’re loved - add them in!⁠
⁠
5️⃣ Happy to help… Most people haven’t ordered a family tree before, so we’re happy to hold your hand as much as you need, answering questions and working with you to get your layout just right. Ask for help before you order, or pop a question on your order form (on @etsy or @notonthehighstreet ) and I’ll explain things in a friendly voice - no question too silly and all enquiries welcome!⁠
