Before Christmas I struggled to run 1km without hating it and feeling rubbish about myself. Thanks to our Mother Forker @life_and_fork my mindset around running has changed completely and the belief that I can actually be a little bit sporty is wild. 

Last night 40 incredible women came together to run a 10km trail run at @sledmere_house , every single person was celebrated in their achievement and it was honestly so wonderful I can’t put it into words. 🤭… thank you to every person who sang with me, cheered with me, talked as we went around the hills and forest. What a Friday eve ✨🤭.

Have had the best week at Amadria Park, near Trogir and just 15 minutes from Split airport. This literally felt like something out of a film and not at all what I’d envisioned when someone mentioned the word “Eurocamp” 🤪)... what a beautiful piece of bliss. Days bathing listening to waves crashing, card games under pine trees and paddle boarding on the gentle waves.
Absolutely restorative and let our children, and us get to play in this beautiful place

🤷🏼‍♀️ Did you expect it to look like this?

We took a boat trip to Trogir but there are some really good public transport links via bus and water buses to get to this beautiful little spot.
