Huge apologies for not being around much recently.
We’ve been victims of ‘suspected’ fraud by our own accountant, followed by relentless bullying from the bank, court hearings, having to sell our home, and losing my nephew, Sancho, and his lovely Mum.
No wonder Neil and I have both been ill with all the stress.
And then Sancho’s youngest sister took her own life. I don’t have the words to say how devastated we all are. Mia was so beautiful. They were all gorgeous. And I consider myself more than blessed to have had them in my life.
Earlier, I wrote to Sue, who told me she had lost her Mum after a long illness, “Grief is something that hits everyone in different ways. So please be kind to yourself. Continuing to help others by having a business to run saved our sanity. We all need something to focus our energies on, something that allows our inner genius to make a difference. Your passion for colour could be just that. Or it may be something else. I hope you find whatever it is, even if it’s nothing more than a flickering flame right now.”
So if you have lost someone, had a rotten year, or a rotten few years,
please be kind to yourself.
If it helps at all, I can tell you that by finally choosing to ditch the anger and frustration and by replacing that complete waste of time and energy with a conscious decision to be kind to ourselves, Neil and I have found that…
‘There is a light at the end of the tunnel’, but very much like
‘Every cloud has a silver lining’…
You just have to look for the darned thing!
All this upset has made Neil and I take a good, long look at who we are and what we’d rather be doing, so new stuff is on its way.
But fear not, we will continue developing the colour & style training and colour supplies, and have some fun along the way.

Update 14 October 2024
I hadn’t realised just how hard it would be for both Neil and me at Mia’s funeral on Friday. It was, and remains, beyond heartbreaking. Time just seemed to stand still.
We cannot thank you enough for your kind emails, full of amazing words of encouragement, love, and support. You have absolutely no idea how many tears that caused… and how much it all means to Neil and me.
We know the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter every day.
I feel my MOJO is finally returning – it’s a ruddy good job because I have been totally unable to find the little blighter for far too long.
Thank you more than muchly.
