October, you were a good one! 🍂❤️

A month of travel, celebrations, team wins, family time, new experiences and plenty of reasons to be grateful.
A little look back at what I’ve been up to…

✨ Team catch-ups.
☀️ Sunny walks, hot tub nights and enjoying those little moments.
✈️ A travel training event
⛷️An Improvers ski day. Always learning, growing and trying new things.
🥰 Precious time having fun with Betty.
🌟 Celebrating my incredible director Jo hitting 4 Star Director! So proud of her and what she’s achieved. We surprised her with a special lunch to celebrate — very well deserved!
🎂 Birthday celebrations with dinner and my parents. It was especially lovely seeing Dad out and about again. ❤️
🔥 A little unexpected excitement on the flight to Italy when a passenger’s phone caught fire. Definitely a first for me on a plane, and a reminder never to take flight safety for granted!
🇮🇹 A weekend in Bari ticking THREE more places off my bucket list — Alberobello, Matera and Polignano a Mare. Pizza, pasta, gelato and limoncello spritz… Italy, you never disappoint! 🍕🍋
🚗 A trip to Torquay for work.
🥂 A Dolly Parton bottomless brunch with the girls — because why not?!
🎄 Planning meeting with the girls for our family Christmas day out. The excitement is already building!
🎉 And celebrating Lewis’s 40th birthday with a lovely dinner.

Looking back, I can’t believe how much I can fit into one month.

From big milestones and bucket-list adventures to simple sunny walks and family catch-ups, it’s all the little pieces that make life special.
October reminded me that life isn’t just about the big holidays or the big celebrations. It’s about making time for the people you love, celebrating, trying new things and enjoying the moments in between.

November, I’m ready for you! 🍂❤️

What was your October highlight?

October recap, October highlights, monthly life update, travel adventures, Bari Italy weekend, Alberobello Matera Polignano a Mare, family time and celebrations, travel business events, making memories, life lately

They won’t tell you this in therapy because they’ll lose your business…

But have you tried going to Italy? 🤌🏼🍝🍋

A little pasta.
A bit of pizza.
Lots of gelato. A cheeky limoncello. Sunshine on your face. Wandering streets with no real plan. Eating your body weight in carbs.
 And suddenly, life feels a little less stressful.

Is Italy going to solve all your problems? Probably not.

But will I happily test the theory over a plate of fresh pasta and a little limoncello? Absolutely.

Some people have retail therapy.
I have book-a-flight-and-eat-my-way-around-Italy therapy.
And honestly? I think I’m due another session.

Tag the person who needs to prescribe you both a trip to Italy!
