I feel great that the company I work for makes time to remind me to make time for my happiness.  I always enjoy the all staff development conferences. I was worried that the friendliness and cohesiveness of interacting with each other as an entire college wide team would be lost digitally, but I have reconnected with former colleagues in different campuses and job roles.  I can revisit learning, enjoy visiting Scottish counterparts and learn new things.

Baking for elderly friends and delivering it.  Long walks in our beautiful countryside and be thankful for where we live.  Made a cable reel table (now my colleagues know why I was looking for one) and Zumba sessions for my work colleagues early morning which became a wonderful support network for us all

Being able to work from home and home school our son whilst my husband is out working with the NHS.  By not going out as often, we've been able to keep him and his patients safe too.

No commute gave me more time to get the household chores out of the way.  Then I had more time to bake and watch loads of history programmes.  They make you realise there have been other tough times, but humans are resilient and life goes on...

I have been refurbing an old doll's house into a miniature scandi dreamhouse. It's amazing how painting and making little bits of furniture unleashes a flow of creativity. I have also discovered TikTok, as you can see :-)
