    The final thing I’m proud of this year is my creativity… Biscuits have been, and still are, my hobby. They are my switch off from teaching (my mindfulness activity I suppose!) and my favourite biscuits have been those this year which I haven’t had to do for a particular reason other than because I wanted do! I have taken inspiration from many different things, my surroundings, lifestyle or season and created something completely unique. These biscuits are often the ones I can’t bring myself to eat (they’ve taken hours to decorate) and these are the ones I love to show off! When my sister asked me to do that weeks @horseandhound I thought I would give it a go! Little did I realise that it was a complicated front cover ? But I loved doing it! The horse heads were another highlight, I chose them because they all gave me different challenges; one with a lot of mane, one with a bridle and one with a rosette! I loved doing them and was so pleased with the outcomes! They often say the only limit is your imagination, and in this context that is most definitely true! #5thingsimproudof #womeninbiz #smallbusiness #smallbusinessuk #womeninbusiness #creativity #ruralbusiness #smallbusinessowner #horseandhound #creativity #imagination #horses #decoration #magazine #publishing #thequeen #rurallife #ridinglife #sidesaddle
