Since opening my first Etsy shop, back in December 06, getting up in the morning has been a whole lot easier. How ever tired or lazy I'm feeling there is always that little enticing voice whispering 'maybe you made some sales, whilst you were sleeping' So for the last half year my morning ritual is as follows. Switch on my laptop & LBC, a London talk show radio station, make a frothy soya latte, in my current favourite
Tracey Porter mug, and check my emails.
Then shower & dress and a hot bowl of porridge, whilst listening to the previous nights episode of
The Archers
For those of you that don't know The Archers is Britain's longest running radio soap opera. My mums special treat as a little girl was to stay up late & listen to the omnibus. It's about a rural farming community....gripping stuff!
Then it's on with the rest of the day, today is a post office day, I better run to catch a break in the rain....
Your porridge looks sooo yummy!

i like you even more knowing you listen to lbc...strangely addictive. i also grew up with the archers but have never been able to get into it myself. i think it's the way they 'over-project' their voices for radio!
ReplyDeletehello from a fellow archers-addict! my mum got me into it too + it's the only soap i frequent...it's comforting-listening to me : )
ReplyDeleteyour morning ritual sounds good by the way! breakfast + email checking goes on a lot for me too. just discovered your blog...looking forward to reading more!
My fried Sarah did little up and down jumps about you. And, I know why!! So lovely, your work. It is just sublime. And, hmm, you actually made me itch for porridge... Vanessa
ReplyDeleteyour morning ritual is the same as mine, minus the porridge and i have to add in four kids...but i like to get up knowing i might have someone waiting with a message on my computer...or a sale.
ReplyDeleteas for the Archers, they certainly bring back memories of being a kid and my mum listening to them...how i miss my bbc broadcasting radio, sigh...
Your work is lovely and I must go buy some for my youngest! The coffee and porridge don't look so bad either!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a version of my mornings. I sip coffee and browse etsy first thing. It's so comforting to have the whole house to myself while the rest of the family is sleeping--love that mug!
ReplyDeleteHi, am moving to Suffolk today, i am jumping in my over-packed car in time for this mornings omnibus, it is a splendid way to help with a 2 hour drive and the A14, i usually tape the omnibus and listen to snippets when i am preparing my dinner, it seems we all such creatures of habit, with our own little quirks and idiosyncrasies, glad to have found you, i will keep in touch, Sx
