Loads of the time I find myself dreaming of the sunshine. Because who doesn’t? I was sitting on the bus going to work a couple of days ago, I had been to 6am bootcamp that morning already – I know, some would say MAD, I prefer to say awesome, or adventurous or that it is part of my social calendar (kind of is), but during one particular exercise involving us lying on the ground doing ab exercises, my lovely friend and most excellent workout partner commented that we could still see the stars. We were effectively working out in the middle of the night … well it felt like that at approximately 6:20am in the middle of winter and it was surprisingly refreshing. Then an hour later (impressed at my quick turn morning around?
