This is fantastic. Amazing--and yet totally makes sense. You are so right: we can do whatever we set our minds to do in whatever deadline we set. I get a keen sense of mission really helps you, and that you are an instinctive curator not a cerebral one--but you're so clearly a curator! And an organizer and you know from me that is high praise! I love your daughter's presence threaded through this and the collaborations you inspired, the conversations you had. Are you the force behind SWINdon 2029?
Ok I’ll accept instinctive curator 😂 I do love organising events and a mission with a deadline helps a lot. I seem to get more fire in my belly when it’s community focused than just about me too. As we discussed in our 2023 chat.
Absolutely loved reading this! The progression from Friday idea to Thursday opening is testament to what happens when inspiration meets action, not overplanning. That label-cutting fiasco is so real - I've had similiar issues when rushing creative projects where the logistics eat way more time than expected. Six days proving tighter timelines sometimes beat stretched ones.
This means a lot, thank you. You’re right, logistics seem to always take longer than expected. If I can iron out a few bits I think I could have a good little system.
Inspo for days 💯
Good to see you here, thanks so much 🙏

P.s. the Swindon 2029 thing… https://www.facebook.com/share/1BpLJ8Nwtk/?mibextid=wwXIfr
OMFG
Cool huh?!
Amazing! I am so excited! This is perfect timing--for you and for SWINdon!
It truly is, I’m excited, I feel part of something bigger
And something just made for you--your skillset, your talents, who you are.

Definitely! You are mission-driven.
I just saw this. It felt like you'd see it as affirmation: https://lesamisdebeauforddelaney.blogspot.com/2026/01/withdrawn-and-working-and-thinking.html
