Oh Wellington is such a village!
The gossip. The secrets. The rumours. The subterfuge. The (tiny white) bare-faced lies.
Frankly, I never knew I was such a great actress.
It's like chinese whispers. The story grows and changes with each telling.
So, shall I put everyone out of their misery? Forget the 'neither confirm or deny' routine?
OK then - yes, it's true... Small Acorns is moving.
Where to?
Well you'll just have to wait a little bit longer to find out where.
Let's just say that brilliant, beautiful, character-filled spaces like this don't come up very often.
And we are soooooo excited as we plan our new space.
And are we crazy to be taking this on at this time of year, just before Christmas?
Quite likely I would say, but then I've always been a big fan of crazy!
And ever since I mooted this brilliantly crazy idea to my (stunned) husband, some months ago now, and hoped and prayed that this space could be ours, I've been looking at, and reading this little card on my desk.
It says...
"Faith is believing that one of two things will happen.
That there will be something solid for you to stand on -
Or, that you will be taught to fly."
As always, I'm aiming to fly!
