How To Slow Down For Summer And Be Productive
Book
Seeking Slow: Reclaim Moments of Calm in Your Day ~ Melanie Barnes
Are you being consumed by never-ending to-do lists? Are you working harder and enjoying less? Seeking Slow provides simple ways for you to slow down and reconnect with yourself, your family, and your surroundings—while finding joy in doing so.
Pre-order now, released on September 24, 2019.
Pre-orders really count. Booksellers look to them to gauge interest in a book and use them to place orders. So the more pre-orders, the more orders, and the more orders, the more books in the store. The more books in the store, the more likely people are to see and buy the book. You are also guaranteed the lowest price!
Podcast
Long car..train..plane journeys need a good audiobook. Check out BBC SOUNDS for some brilliant free audibles available this summer.
Here are a few of our favourites:
Paradise: True Crime. Peta and Chris are in paradise – they sail into hell. Why does it take 38 years to arrest the only suspect: Silas Duane Boston?
Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams: the debut novel by Candice Carty-Williams, a darkly comic and unflinchingly raw depiction of a young woman trying to navigate her way in the world.
Good Omens: Adaptation of the 1990 fantasy novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. An angel and a demon try to save the world from an apocalypse

Mailing List
‘Five Good Things’ ~ Charlie Budd (aka @thetallphotographer)
Every week we receive an email called ‘Five Good Things’.
It’s a mixture of good news, amazing people, brilliant and thoughtful TV or audio programmes, the odd book, and there’s often something Charlie has been up to which he thinks is good, like a new exhibition or a video I’ve produced.
Amusing, thoughtful, heart-warming, or a little challenging – in a good way.
There’s enough bad news in the media, but there’s good stuff happening all around us – and Five Good Things is all about finding it. SIGN UP HERE!

Feather and Wild – Victoria, a Cumbrian Artist, whose beautiful work is inspired by nature and being outdoors amongst the mountains, trees and the ocean. Victoria works from her small home studio and happily spends hours reflecting on her time in the Highlands and in her homeland the Lake District to sketch past adventures and dream of new ones. We love her work!
Pinterest Account
