Just as when you go and start work somewhere new and make new “work friends”, working from home has helped me forge new friendships too – usually formed online at first. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve come away from a coffee or lunch with an online creative mate (or Work Wife), and am left feeling inspired, refreshed and motivated. Those that know me (old friends and new), know that there are times when I have to make work a priority in order to ensure I can still hold down this bit of space in the online world. | Sunglasses – Quay Australia | Sweatshirt [old] GAP : similar below | Nails – Wicked by Essie | An Edited Life by Anna Newton | Watch [from this gifting collaboration]

For kids (and adults) who can’t go without it there’s wifi and there was also Freeview + and NOW TV Movies which got a huge thumbs up from the sometimes hard to please Teen! Go here if you love beaches and rugged coastline, quaint little fishing towns, pastel coloured cottages… and yep The following morning, Mr OS went out for a coastal path run and made all sorts of discoveries from a landscape that was straight out of Game of Thrones and curious hillside sheep to a couple selling lemon cake and award winning marmalade on their driveway, with all proceeds going to Devon Air Ambulance. If you’d like to see some footage of the cottage and North Sands beach in all it’s glory, head over to my Instagram TV channel via the App where you’ll find a couple of videos. | Our accommodation was courtesy of our lovely hosts Georgie and James and whilst I wasn’t under any obligation to share our experience here, I would happily recommend a stay at Coastguard Cottage to blog readers, friends and family alike!
