My world has shrunk right down. It used to involve a car, a journey, a big office and lots of people. But now, for six hours a day, it involves my dining table, my computer, my phone, a pen and a notebook.
I stare at my garden as I work and, when the phone rings, I usually rush out there for the better reception. I’ve taken to walking up and down my wall as I discuss my latest job. I’m sure my clients are not picturing a 40 year old woman in her slippers or socks pacing up and down a wall as she talks. But that’s the beauty of freelance work and my tiny little world. In my own little world I can be who I want to be and do what I want to do.
This week’s Gallery theme seems somehow appropriate – up close and personal with a much smaller world. A look at the things that make my world go round. A look at my new life.
Linking up to The Gallery at Sticky Fingers. Pop over to see how others are getting ‘up close and personal’.Â

I’m trying to picture you walking up and down a wall! Do you mean hall? Or do you have a lovely brick wall you walk up and down?! Either way, your achievement is just brilliant. Should there not be a #loudnproud post in there somewhere?!

It never stops being exciting! I once had a client ask whether I ever worked from bed, I was adamant I did not (I totally do…) – it’s the beauty of working from home 🙂

I may be sat working in bed right now 😉 Its fantastic! I did have a slight panic when all our work laptops got webcams installed though – I kept wondering whether just my top half had to be presentable!

Love this look at working from home. I do it myself and it can make your world smaller – but looking out at the garden as you type – and having some freedom with your time makes it all work it.
