Always have room for one more compact with my favourite London scene! 🥰 (this one by the Birmingham brand ‘Vogue Vanities’)
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted, seven months to be precise! 😢 In that time, I’ve been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, have undergone chemotherapy, premature cataract surgery, and for the foreseeable am receiving monoclonal antibody treatment. Hope now to get back to posting more frequently 😊
I’ll need to be immunosuppressed for the rest of my life, so need to avoid crowds and can’t travel like I used to, even up to London - which is making me especially nostalgic for these vintage London scenes! 💕
