My big plan for July was the Hozier concert in Wales with my partner Ken and my sister Amy on July 9th - if you're a Hozier fan you might have seen that show specifically got cancelled due to flooding 🥲
We're lucky that we've seen Hozier live before, so it wasn't our first or only time like I know it would have been for so many people, so we felt very fortunate!
We made the most of our days off anyway and our closeness to the Forest of Dean & Puzzlewood! We had some absolutely wonderful woodland rambles, found tiny frogs, and rounded off the evening with dinner and cocktails. You win some you lose some, eh?
I had a big order to fulfill this month for the wonderful Punnydukes- including some custom candles for them! I filmed the whole process, you can watch the video *here*
I always love creating for Punnydukes, they're such a wonderful little brick and mortar- I always drive to deliver their orders in person rather than shipping them, just because I love the little shop (and the surrounding peak district!) so much 💜 We had a little stroll down the Lumsdale valley afterwards- it's only 10 minutes away!
Reading:
- The Honey Witch - Sydney J Shields

Let me know what you've been up to, pals! Have you been to any concerts? Watched any good movies or shows? Tell me what you're reading, what your current obsessions are or what's on your playlist atm! I'd love to chat with you in the comments 🩷
Lots of love! xo
