Our son, our beautiful, joyous Sammy, has passed away. We are heartbroken.
We’ve always said that life is not remembered in years, but in moments. And we tried to fill Sam’s life, however long, with lots of moments - big and small - that he delighted in, and we could always treasure.
And that was so easy to do! Sam knew how to live. Always in the moment. Never troubled by the past, never worrying about what is coming next. Finding the joy & laughter in any situation. Grabbing it and shaking it and sharing it out. Enthusiastically. If you met little Sam you’d definitely be invited to his birthday party.
In recent years it’s got harder and harder for him to grab that joy. But he was still happy, still content. He loved going to school, his bus journey there & back, and as always just loved being with his friends & family.
Sam died at Martin House @martinhousech on Wednesday night, having been outside with the sun’s rays setting on his face, surrounded by people he loves as we sang songs (happy birthday of course included), laughed and prayed. There is no better place in the world that we could have been, and we’re immeasurably grateful.
Watching Jack & Ellie with him in his final days, goodness me they are remarkable young people, and how they adore him. He loved and was loved perfectly.
Sam went gently, His timing was perfect. 🙏🏻

We played this video at Sam‘s funeral on Friday. And then we all sang happy birthday to him. When we told our lovely minister that we wanted “happy birthday” in the funeral service, he was a little…puzzled. But we explained. Sam absolutely loved birthdays. When he was little he asked nearly every day “it my bird-day domorrow?” and it seemed such a shame that there was only one day each year when we could answer yes. We feared he wouldn’t have enough birthdays with us. So we sang happy birthday to him on pretty much everyone else’s birthday all year round! If I live to be a 100 I won’t have blown out as many candles as Sammy. And I’m so glad we did that. I know that whenever we sing happy birthday in the future we will think of him. Maybe you will too. 🎉🎂💖

Our last family photo together… ➡️ and the first.
It’s 10 weeks since Sam died, just a few hours after this polaroid photo was taken. It feels like both a minute and a million years ago. 💔

Drumroll please… 🥁🤪
I promise you guys will be the first to know if I hear anything. 👀❤️🤞🏻
And @virgin take your time. I’m totally chill. Not refreshing my DMs every 5 minutes. Nope, not me! 🫠😂

THANK YOU. Woke up to so many incredibly lovely supportive comments from my reel yesterday. Eeee you know how to brighten a girl’s day. Properly bowled over. 🥰🥹
@virgin … not being funny, but HAVE YOU SEEN THE COMMENTS?! 👀 😂
Who are we to argue with the people? ❤️🤞🏻

Holy moly. Virgin are looking for a “Head of Yes”? Errr helloooooo! 👋🏼🙋♀️
I built a business from armknitting, said yes to putting it out there on social media, and somehow turned that into a job where I got to be creative, tell stories, make videos and say yes to some incredible experiences along the way.
But honestly, it’s not always been easy to say yes. Looking after Sam always came first. And I’d have done that forever if only I could have.
But that’s not how my story goes. And now in this next chapter I have the chance to say yes to things I haven’t even thought of yet.
So, Virgin… what do you reckon? Gowaaaaan👀🤞
Oh and if Sir Richard doesn’t want me, but you’re a brand looking for someone creative who can shoot, edit and tell a good story… please come and get me. I bloody love this stuff. 🙋♀️❤️

Ad. On January 14th, we head off on our annual ski trip to beautiful @alta_badia_official with the best group of women you could possibly imagine. And sound the klaxon we have a few spaces available if you fancy joining us. It really is a magical trip and one thing we can promise you is that you will never forget it. Whether you come alone or with a mate, we can guarantee you, you’ll laugh til your belly hurts and you’ll leave with 20 new best friends. DM me
@comedowntothewoods if you’re interested and I can send you the link to the epic write up the trip got in The Times last year. So much is included, flights, transfers, ski hire, lift pass, ski guides, food, wine, taxis and ALL the fun. It’s like being a kid and your parents organising your holiday for you!
All abilities catered for, just holler if you have any questions.
SEE YOU AT THE AIRPORT!

On the look out for a few stools at my next brocante 👀
We replaced the old barn door when we turned the adjoining stable into Sam’s room. I wondered what we might do with it, and then saw @_alexiawhite (a lovely French renovation account) use a very similar door and turn it into a beautiful kitchen island. Merci Alexia pour l’inspiration 🙏🏻😊

Summer 2026 so far… I mean. It’s been epic.
Kicking off with a weekend in France with my dear ol’ chums from school, and christening of LA PISCINE! I love these women to the depths of my very bones. A few days with them is better than any therapy available. 🥰
And a field full of sunflowers is also food for the soul.
Back for Prom. How have my babies 👶👶 finished year 11? 🥹
@lewiscapaldi in Roundhay Park. Something in the heavens… 💔
Back in France, our footy watching set up. Not too shabby.
Obvs lots of sanding/sawing/painting. SO MUCH to catch up on over in @coupdecoeurencharente
Brocante finds.
Kayaking on the Charente.
The pool is in! It’s magnificent. Still to finish the ground work around it but first summer, I give it top marks.
Then… sailing in Greece!
We hired a yacht with a skipper, as part of a flotilla with about 10 other boats. You stay on the yacht but sail to different places each day. We were with our dear friends and it was COSY on that yacht but absolutely brilliant. We went with @sunsailholidays
Captain Mizz. We’re selling the French house and buying a boat.
Any picture with just the four of us looks wonky. Aaah but even Will might accept that getting Sammy aboard this yacht would have been a challenge. (He’s still have done it mind)
Monty dog was happy as a pig in the proverbial being looked after by my folks.
Back for Will’s birthday (and our 22nd anniversary). 🎂
Then… Burgau in Portugal! I KNOW!
These guysssssss 🥰
And finally… 🌕🌖🌗🌘 But still so much of summer left. GCSE results next week 🙏🏻. And then somehow into some sort of routine with work and housework and life admin.
