11.11am, Getting an awesome phone call. Today I found out I got a job that is the dream. Netball Development Officer for Cornwall. It's a part-time maternity cover contract, but I am so excited and so proud. I applied for a similar job last year, and didn't get anywhere. So I've spent the past 18 months getting more qualified, putting myself in a better position in case the role came up again, and when it did I just went for it. It's shown me how far passion and good energy can get you!
Another amazing thing happened today. Andy and I completed on our first property! We are now the very proud owners of a cute two-bed flat in Newlyn. It's hotpotch and full of character and needs some work... but we love it! What a big, beautiful day.

Sunday 8 September – Recreating the loveliness
Current location: Mousehole
11.11am, Walking home. After yesterday's loveliness, I had another gorgeous morning. I met my friend Carly on there beach at Newlyn, and it was so sunny and lovely, we had a swim (I was more prepared this time, with a bikini). It was freeeeezing but so nice! Then I bought a coffee and a pastry and walked to Mousehole! I love that walk and haven't done it for months thanks to my bung knee. The sun was shining and it was just gorgeous. In the afternoon I had a barbecue at Ruth's mum's house in Porthgwarra. So much of lovely Cornwall today.
