Postcard from Londonshire: Welcome

Dear Diary... I've moved from London to the Cotswolds

Welcome to Postcard from Londonshire. This is a diary-style newsletter about life in the Cotswolds, AKA Londonshire.

I’m Jenny, a writer, coach and podcaster, and I moved from London to Chipping Norton in August 2020.

Yep, I’m THAT cliche!

Add in retraining as a coach, two lockdown puppies and a do-er upper Victorian townhouse and, well… you get Londonshire!

The move has not been easy. I’ve never regretted it but I have had moments of doubt and moments of WTF have I done?

Juggling old and new friendships, business and loneliness, trying to train two dogs (Whippet and Labrador), and planning a wedding and you’ve got a recipe for a diary, right?

This began as a column in Metro newspaper, and, with their permission, I’m using the title and making my own newsletter. This will also be a diary-style podcast, looking at different elements of Londonshire living, from events and relationships to everyday moments.

And here’s the first column that ran in Metro to whet your appetite!
