I’m at my parents’ house, resting up and eating well. My lovely Mum took me shopping for vegan supplies this afternoon 
Did you know Mr Kipling’s apple pies have milk in them, but the blackcurrant ones don’t? Totally weird.
Earlier on I was looking through this really cool folder of stuff my parents kept from when I was born til I was about 15. Class photos, wobbly drawings and school reports. My favourite quote comes from Heathfield JMI School, June 1990:
“Laura has had a very good year at school. All her work is a pleasure to mark. Displays great maturity in all but the practical and physical aspects of her work.”
Brilliant. My second favourite item is a photo of me with a giraffe, which I will definitely scan before I go home. And a close third is the section for each year where Mum wrote what I wanted to be when I grew up:
Year 2: nurse
Year 3: actress
Year 4: actress
Year 5: blank, sadly
Year 6: actress
Year 7: horse journalist!
Year 8: journalist / photographer / dancer / actress
How very girly! I love that by Year 8 I knew it was safer to diversify…clearly a born freelancer.
While I’m here I’ve got some recommendations for you, online and offline bits and bobs from lovely talented people I know online and / or offline (we’re very web 3.0 around here, don’t you know).
