This is my mum and best friend Jan.
What a babe, right? ❤️
This photo may be from the fabulous 80’s, but to me she’s still just as gorgeous.

Jan is the most selfless, thoughtful, caring and generous person I know. I feel so lucky for the special bond we share 🥹 Being able to work together and live only a stone’s throw from each other is something I never take for granted being her daughter.

I’m so grateful for the love and support she gives me every single day, especially while launching our latest venture The Lakehouse.

Today we celebrate you Mum and all the amazing people who give so much of themselves every single day day 🙌
