Welcome Back to That Brunette Barrister

..... and yes, I've returned with a tan, 300 emails and a refreshed website.

After two glorious weeks soaking up the sun in Cyprus, and pretending my work inbox didn't exist - I'm officially back. Sadly, reality greeted me in the form of roughly 300 emails, 2 urgent interim order applications, and the small matter of ... house hunting.

Because why ease yourself back into normal life when you can dive straight into chaos?

But honestly, I've missed this space and I'm excited to share what's new.

A Fresh Look for TBB

Whilst I was away, That Brunette quietly underwent a little glow-up, think of it as a post holiday refresh.

You'll notice:

• A cleaner, brighter layout

• A new logo

• And my favourite addition...

The New News & Hot Topics Section

This is something I've wanted to do for a while. A space where you can quickly catch up on key legal updates, hot topics across the profession, thought provoking cases and the occasional slice of what's happening in my own slightly chaotic life.

Life Lately: House Hunting Begins

Because apparently I thrive on multitasking, I've also stared the journey of finding my first home. So expect:

• Mild panic

• Occasional joy

• A blog or two about the emotional rollercoaster that is Rightmove at 1am.

It's Good to be Back

I'm returning feeling recharged, inspired and ready for the next chapter, both professionally and personally.

Thank you for sticking around, for reading, supporting and being in this growing little community. I can't wait to share more with you.

Here's to new posts, new ideas and new beginnings .... and maybe a new house!
