My trip to Ghana

Just returned back from a lovely trip to Ghana visiting the in-laws. It was great to switch off for a few weeks and not have any computer in sight although it was quite an adjustment as I am normally glued to the computer. 

The kids loved the great weather and I must say it was thoroughly relaxing for me. 

Ghana gave me a lot of inspiration for my next collection and also opened up opportunities for Orleans Designs. 

I arrived back to London on a high with all these new ideas. Not even the cold miserable English weather could get me down. 

I have been spending the first few days drawing up strategic marketing plans as well as finalising my autumn/winter 2010 collection, which I believe is looking rather sleak, I must say. Am very happy with the initial drawings. If I can get some clippings, I will post them.
