Deary me! It has been a while since my last post. This is because I have been caught up working. Yes, working.
Firstly, I had an incredible time interning for four weeks at delicious. magazine where the small-knit team made me feel welcome instantly. I was given quite a bit of writing copy and subbing to do, which was not only a great honour ('really? you want me to do this?! yippeeee!'), but also thoroughly enjoyable (check out 'What's in Season' in the current issue, out now in all supermarkets and newsagents). I also wrote the November e-newsletter, and got to grips with CMS, which, is actually quite similar to the format of writing a blog, so, although infuriating and seemingly complicated at times, I did get the hang of it quite quickly. I was sad to leave, and, armed with some chicken and salad (there is lots of food to sample at delicious.) I said my goodbyes and thanks.
I then jumped into the fashion world, and became an 'op girl' at London Fashion Week where I guarded the Buyers Lounge (and its accompanying coffee machine and plate of pastries) with my life. One of my responsibilities was to make coffee for the buyers, so I made roughly 500 espressos a day for the top bananas in the fashion world. About half way through I was asked if I was fed up of doing this, but I really wasn't: I liked having my own little area to organise and I took pride in ensuring the buyers' comfort. The compliments they left me with at the end of the week were truly heartening - I must have been doing something right!
Two superb experiences, where I met wonderful people, who had the time, energy and patience to share some of their wisdom and work with me, whilst working at the top of their game. Inspirational.
