Oh, it's been a fun few weeks. I haven't been fe Oh, it's been a fun few weeks. I haven't been feeling my best, far from it. As anyone who is self-employed will know, this is your worst nightmare. Thankfully, I have incredibly supportive friends and family, plus I've had this one by my side to keep an eye on me and give me cuddles. I am resting like I have never rested before, all in a bid to feel better. And I have been speaking with the wonderfully insightful and brilliant @suethomaswellbeing who has not only worked out what is going on when the doctors told me to come back next month, but has me on the best of things to help me feel better. My long weekend will be spent with @magicalmistermishkins and doing as little as possible. Sometimes, your body forces you to listen, and this is definitely one of those times.
It's time for the long weekend here in the UK! Wha It's time for the long weekend here in the UK! What magic do you plan to create? There are a few clues in this image for some of the magic I have been working on this week, but I'd love to hear what you have been up to, and what you have lined up for the next three days. Go gentle, make it a good one. Samantha xx

Have a wonderful month, Samantha xx
Today marks twenty years since my precious nanna p Today marks twenty years since my precious nanna passed away. She died just two days short of her 94th birthday, and I still keenly feel her absence. I still wish I could have just one more conversation with her. Just five more minutes. One more cup of tea. One more smile and a cheeky giggle. I just wish for one more… But we all know that one more would never be enough. Read my thoughts on my beloved nanna - https://samanthamattockswrites.substack.com/p/i-wish-for-just-one-more #substack #substacknewsletter #nanna #wish #family #substackwriter #writerscommunity
Wishing you all a very Happy Easter. Have a wonder Wishing you all a very Happy Easter. Have a wonderful day, whatever you get up to. I love the nostalgia in this image - it takes me back to a time when everything was simpler. I think we could all do with a little of that right now. Have a lovely day, Samantha xx
Someone is four today! Happy birthday to The Magic Someone is four today! Happy birthday to The Magical Mister Mishkins! This cat is so special, not only to me, but to so many around the world as the inspiration behind Mister Mishkins' Apothecary, book one in my Magical Mister Mishkins series. Please join me in wishing this little bear a very happy birthday! xx
