‘You know that feeling when you take a look around and think I can’t believe this is real – it’s just so perfect. I had that feeling on a very average day back in 2000. I’d been to Pizza Hut with my boyfriend of 4 months and we were then going to watch a film. We were sat in the cinema; I can’t even recall the name of the film as it was quite boring. It’s hard to describe what happened but it was like a sudden wave of realisation that I really was totally and utterly in love. At that moment I felt a contentment, excitement, exhilaration and an energy I’d never felt before. I wanted to bottle that feeling to remind me that you don’t have to be jumping out of planes or going on amazing holidays to feel like you’re alive. It’s all these normal days in between the big events in your life where the real living takes place. Thirteen years later and we’re now married with 3 children and I’ve had many moments where the beauty of life has quite literally taken my breath away but I always try to remember it’s often the little things in life that mean the most.’
