\"luminatedHow is everyone doing? I remember writing a post back in January saying, \u2018the sun will shine again<\/em>\u2019 while reflecting on a Winter lockdown. Well, as promised, the Spring is here \u2013 with some sun (cough cough) \u2013 and a dash of snow \u2013 (well it is a typical Spring in Scotland). The temperature gauge can\u2019t quite make up its mind and hedges its bets between 8 and 16 degrees \u2013 but there is definitely a brighter feeling all around.  Perhaps it\u2019s because April delivered an abundance of chocolate (of the egg variety), a bank holiday, and an easing of some of the lockdown conditions. Springtime always heralds a feeling of \u2018we made it through the dreich days\u2019, but this year that feeling of having \u2018survived\u2019 is more apt than most.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Throughout April I was working on a few commissions and illustrations of Spring Flowers \u2013 inspired by a need to get out in the fresh air to clear the head and walk off the aforementioned chocolate eggs. On our walks I have noticed people appear more positive again and this seems to be reflected in the Spring blossoms that have burst forth. The world is beginning to \u2018open\u2019 tentatively again and there is a feeling of optimism in the air<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I also have some fantastic news to share. The Honey Pot Creative Caf\u00e9 is now stocking Bumbumbee Creative Greetings Cards and Notebooks. We are absolutely \u2018buzzing\u2019 with excitement and gratitude here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"HoneyIf you are in the local area look out for Honey Pot Creative Caf\u00e9. It is situated directly below the iconic Forth Rail Bridge and it has stunning panoramic views of the Firth of Forth. They run all sorts of amazing creative classes for all ages, and they even have a ceramic studio as well as a cafe and gift shop. This is my idea of a day well spent. The great news is, Honey Pot Caf\u00e9 is re-opening to the public on Monday 26 April, 2021 (yes that\u2019s today). They will be taking table bookings online or why not give them a call. The usual COVID protocols are in place so make sure you book ahead to avoid disappointment.Call Honey Pot Creative on: 0131 319 2323<\/span> or Book a Table for a pot of Tea or Creative Play Book a table<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s about it from me but I would love to hear how April\u2019s been treating you. Are you all dying to get to the hairdressers or just to get out and start doing the things we used to take for granted? My little wildlings can\u2019t wait to spend time with their cousins and just get out there and cause general mayhem. Phew \u2013 well it\u2019s been a long winter \u2013 but we made it. We\u2019re through to the other side. We’re ready to make up for lost time and blossom again.  Enjoy Spring everybody.<\/span><\/p>\n
