It's only a recent thing Kayla and I'm useless at promoting myself 😂 Delighted you're enjoying the book and I hope this brings even more joy!

Haha, well I’m glad to hear it as I’m sure you know you’d be really missed! As much as no one wants to see you upset I think it’s great that you posted it and didn’t just try re-doing it and putting on a brave face, you’ll have helped more people than you know and it honestly makes you look just as strong being emotional and open as it does being physically tough. Take care and have the best time in London … and eat lots of good food!! (that’s the best part of being in London for me 🤣).

Appreciate it Nikki, I have loads of footage to cut and edit so if I feel like it's right I'll upload 🙌🏻 That's the reason I just went for it and uploaded. If one person can benefit from it, it's worthwhile ❤️ I'll maybe try and review a few spots, put my Granda out of a job 😂

Haha, your nanny and grandad won’t know themselves while you’re gone! Sounds like a good plan and don’t put pressure on yourself to reply to people if you do post. Time flies so make the most of relaxing and enjoying yourself ❤️

Hi Jonny. Just seen your Instagram post and just wanted to send you some love and a big hug. Please don’t be hard on yourself or feel guilty for needing to take a break, you don’t have a normal job like most and I can only imagine the amount of pressure you must feel not being able to take a paid holiday and feeling like you need to constantly post and share everything. Just remember how far you’ve come and like we always say on here every step forward is progress, even on the days we don’t feel like we’ve made any. Make sure you take a proper break and enjoy the time with your friends, I always find being around those I love and who make me laugh can literally change my whole mindset and perspective so I’m sure it will do you the world of good. Most of us who follow you do so because we resonate with your struggles and totally understand so everything and everyone will be here when you come back. ❤️

Thank you Nikki, those words mean so much ❤️ It's a funny world social media and I'm learning everyday with it. I hope I can make it a sustainable thing and give back as much as I can. The video I posted never intended to be like that, it just came out raw and real. I thought it best to share as it may help others out there and be relatable. I'll get a weekly check in today just touching base but don't worry I'm not running away and leaving you all yet 😂

Jonny, first and foremost congratulations on your app and website. I've just signed up and really looking forward to trying more of your recipes. The app is super easy to use and full of amazing choices, the hardest part is deciding what to try 1st. Having everything all in one place is so handy, it makes life so much easier. Secondly, I don't even know how to put into words how much I admire you. The steps your taking to show to the world that its OK to be vulnerable, open and honest with how your feeling and coping with daily life. I can only imagine how terrifying that must be, knowing the world is watching. As someone effected by suicide this year, my life will never be the same again. You are doing amazing, you are valued and you are helping others get through dark times, even through your own struggles. You need a medal 🏅 I love watching your videos as you stroll through the countryside and takes me back to my childhood as that's where I grew up. Such a lovely village. Thirdly, please don't be so hard on yourself, if your having a busy day and don't get a chance to do as much on your app as you hope to... Life is short and busy and we as your fans are more than happy to wait on your next installment! Look after yourself, take time for yourself and just Breath! Unfortunately I couldn't afford to sign up for your premium service at the moment but as soon as I can I certainly will as its worth every penny. Keep doing what your doing! And thank you for just being you! Hanna

Thank you Hanna, delighted you've found it easy to operate. That's one of the main things I wanted to provide! You're too kind with those words, it means more than you know ❤️ I'm so sorry to hear of your lose, I can only imagine how difficult that has been. Be sure to look after yourself and those close to you. I'm certain you're doing that from your kind message! I never thought I'd be open about this stuff but from the first time I did people benefitted. It's only encouraged me to do more and I really hope it helps moving forward ❤️ I'm blessed to live in this wee place! I'm guilty of doing too much and I know I need to slow down. I just want to bring as much value to you all on here and through the social pages. I haven't really stopped since retired over 3 years a go. Hoping to get away and visit friends soon to switch off🤞🏻 Don't be silly, being here means so much and I really appreciate that. Thank you again Hanna, I hope you're doing okay at the moment. Know that our wee community are here to support each other! Have a loverly day and be kind to yourself ❤️

A millimeter of progress is progress some days even a backward step with learnings is progress. Keep at it your doing amazing things. They don’t have to be perfect and neither do we. Thank you for the honesty though. It helps to know others feel similar and are making it through.

Love those words Seamus, progress can be seen in so many different ways! I always say there is some good in every situation. We might not see it in that moment but later like you said we see learnings and ways to improve. You'll always get honesty here mate and I'm glad it's helping. We are all cut from the same cloth and here to help one another!

Hi Jonny You're doing amazingly well. When you have moments like this just think about whst you've created. My husband is really struggling at the moment with his mental health and we take it day by day. We have talk a lot about acceptance. Accepting today hasn't been or isn't your best day but tomorrow is a new day and anything is possible. Just keep taking positive steps forward when you can and then be proud of hiw far you've come

Thank you Alison it means a lot. I think we can all lose sight of the progress we make. I hope your husband is slowly getting there, send him my best ❤️ It takes time but taking small steps forward add up over time, it's all about consistently doing the work. Take each day as it comes but be sure to take the good from it, there's always some no matter how small 🙌🏻

Thank you Amanda! I hope more than anything it allows the page to grow so I can bring you more and more value. I've made a decision to visit friends soon which I think is needed, I'll keep you updated though. I haven't taken time away from it all in over 3 years now. The fact it has helped you alone Amanda makes it all worthwhile, I truly mean that ❤️ Delighted this wee space and community is something you already love! Sending my best x
