10 years ago to the date! Sidney and Bertie were 2, and Oscar was 5. I was attending Upholstery night school. We got into a routine with it. A couple of times a week, I’d leave work, pick the boys up from afterschool club and nursery, nip home for snacks and drive back into town to start my class. Usually I’d sit in the car with the boys waiting for Mark to finish work and get there. He’d park his car next to mine, get into my car with the boys and leave me to have an evening of learning and complete escape from the pressures of everyday life. On this occasion, Mark was running late and the boys came into class with me. I’m so pleased I captured this gorgeous pictures of the twins on the cutting table. What journey it’s been. For any Mum out there struggling to keep up with the full time job and dreaming of a career that you can work around your young family, please don’t let that dream fade. It’s hard when your kids are little, financial pressures are high and it’s hard to see a way out. The universe constantly shifts and moves around. Hopefully life will begin to ease for you and I do hope that like me you get to turn your passion into a career, and make a bloody good go of it.
Lots of love, Leanne xx
