👑 Queen of The Tor: Part II

1 week ago | restlessmumma.substack.com | Anna McNuff

Hello Restless Wonders,Greetings from Lanzarote, where I’m with the whole fam at Club La Santa, plus my mum and dad, brother and his kids too. It’s chaos, glorious chaos. The twins have decided to use this week as the week they learn how to climb out of their cots. So most evenings are spent policing the bedroom and wondering who will be where, and what they will be up to when we open the door. Never a dull moment. This week’s post is part two of the tale of Storm’s first wild camp.

Hello Restless Ones,I am back. Wahoooo! A big thanks to all of you for being so supportive in the need to take a break for the past month. I’m tapping this post out from the Canary Islands, on a family holiday. It’s later than intended because I dished out a talk in a French castle this week, then had to jet home, collect the kids (Jamie had bundled them onto a train to Gatwick) and jet back out again.

Hello Restless Wonders,There is a cosmic shift going on this in the west of Britain. The sky is less grey. We have had two days (two, I tell you!) of warmth and sunshine and I have flung the doors open to feel that glorious warmth on my face. I’d like to pretend my mood is not tied to the weather, but dang it is. This week, I’m sharing the first in a new series of posts - called ‘Ten Things I know to be True’.
