Out exploring West Dean Gardens in the heat and enjoyed all the shadows in the glasshouses 🌱
Perfect day off Thursday at west wittering beach

Played my first hour of tennis in 15 years - ooof 😅 time to figure out how to get tennis-fit again! 🎾

I’ve decided to have a go at learning how to make ambient lofi music with ableton from scratch over the next year.

Points if they look nice. 🎵🎹 Update - lots of good recs received! www.craft.do/s/wKWpa74…
Just discovered the joys of Israeli Osem peanut butter puffs and Belgian lotus biscoff biscuits - upping my snack game 🍪
