We’re going back to the UK tomorrow – just for a week. And I don’t particularly want to go. Which is something I never thought I’d say.
Maybe it’s the wonderful Indian summer we’re having here. Or maybe just the thought of dealing with a jetlagged Minx again. Or just the fact that is is mostly going to be work. But even so Seattle is really starting to feel like home.
View from the 520 floating bridge over Lake Washington this weekend. This is the view the Husband gets on his commute every day if the ‘Mountain’ is ‘out’.
Here is a photo I took back in March of the shops on Westbourne Grove, Notting Hill’s premier shopping street which is full of gorgeous boutiques and cafes.
We’re going back because mirrormirror is on the move again. Last year the wonderful Helen stepped into the breach when I was desperately looking for someone to take over the UK end of operations prior to our move out to Seattle, and it’s been huge amounts of fun working with her over the last year. I can never thank her and my lucky stars enough for popping into my inbox at just the right time.
Unfortunately over the past few months the silly girl has gone and got herself a fabulously glamorous and interesting-sounding job at the Design Museum, moved to a new house outside of London and become engaged, so mirrormirror doesn’t exactly fit into her life any more. We always knew this was going to happen though I can’t believe a year has flown by so quickly.
Extremely fortunately my lovely friend Diane is going to be taking over. I’m really looking forward to working with her as she’s got a ton of marketing and marcomms experience and has just gone freelance, so we’re hoping that mirrormirror will fit in with her nicely. So next weekend, we’ll be moving everything up to Cambridge. Do wish us luck driving a van full of ceramics up the motorway.
Good Luck with the move. Been there done that if you know what I mean.
That year has flown by! I’d rather be mountain watching, I have to say. Although it is a bit Indian summerish here at the moment – fingers crossed it continues for you.
haha bonne chance!
