I hope you are enjoying the sunshine.....I know times are very hard for so many people right across the world...We have never experienced the like before and that is both sad and scary too. BUT we have to keep calm and carry on. Find joy wherever we can be grateful for the sunshine. Me and Mr Bag Heaven (Chris 😘) have taken this time to get to know our local area by taking long walks. For some reason we tend to ignore or not appreciate our local surroundings, the birdsong, the busy with life hedgerows. It is only at times like these that we actually look and see the beauty in our own neighbourhoods. Nature and wildlife, butterflies and bees are not only in the Home Counties but in the North too. Kate Humble and company don't have sole exclusivity to the hedgerows and nature. Walking has really been so enjoyable for us both, we pack a small flask, VIMTO and a snack plus for me an extra top, plasters, anti bacterial lotion ETC !!!! So I have got myself one of the NEW NICKY JAMES bags and I love it I love my mustard leather one and my orange ROKA too...see I am a woman of many bags 🤣😂🤣.

As you may be aware Bag Heaven Monton closed it's doors on 21st March so as i love to be in tkuch with you all I have been posting on my Instagram bagheaven_monton account and on Facebook. It has been very different posting photographs of gorgeous bags taken in my garden and i my home. As you know i border on being pretty obsessive about Bag Heaven so really having the bags ( not all 😂🤣) in our home feels right. It seems from your response that you too loved the change of scenery. I have taken a photo this morning for you of a fabulous cerulean blue YOSHI leather tote with an Easter sheep made by my very gorgeous grandson. By the way the sheep is called Noodle after a sheep we got to know on a farm holiday we all went on las Easter.

COVID 19 well I wore some mascara and lipstick just for the hell of it this morning......whoa have I let myself go. I no longer have a wardrobe which I use but a neat reserved space on the floor ! I honestly dont think I have LOOKED into my wardrobes over these scary weeks. My outfits now are comfy, of a colour that hides stains and bring to mind a well used americanism- Trailer Trash! ( without enjoying scrumptious doughnuts and gallons of chocolate milkshake). BUT I've enjoyed it because we are all in the same boat and we have to keep paddling. These last few weeks i think have been resolutely cathartic....we have realised what things in our lives are important. Health and the kindness of others. Yes I shall join the silliness along with the rest of you and make a dash for my makeup bag, dive into my wardrobe and open my treasured antique hamper which I keep my treasured handbags in. BUT i trust we all never forget these times.
