OK, so it took us all a little bit of time to get our heads around the “new normal”, but fast forward many (long, laborious) weeks and we’ve got the whole iso life thing sorted. One point for every one of the below you’re guilty of and congratulations, you’ve officially won the pandemic.

“It’s a time to slow down and just be,” they said.
“The universe is giving us a chance to reassess what’s really important,” they said.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, after four weeks of iso life, we got 99 problems and a virus ain’t one.

‘There are a few defining moments in a woman’s life- the first day of school, her first spin class and joining a “mother’s group”- when she is made excruciatingly aware of where she fits in to the “group”…or where she does not.’

Perhaps it was the day I spent 45 minutes, and more than 50 photos, trying to get a good newborn shot for my Instagram (despite the baby being asleep the whole time).
Perhaps it was the mums and bubs yoga class that felt like a cross between Play School and an ashram.

If you’re a regular visitor to this page, then you’ll notice a few changes.
First, a brand spanking new look (although, I like to think of it as a bit of non-invasive augmentation than full body surgery).
Secondly, the content has evolved a tad. Although Flynn & Tonic started off life as a food blog, my main side-hustle in recent months has been the publication of my first novel, ‘Group’. That, plus juggling two little ones has meant I simply haven’t had the time or headspace to dedicate to cooking and taking pretty pictures of food that I used to. Sad face.
I still love cooking and eating. A lot. So there might still be the occasional recipe uploaded here, but mostly you’ll find updates about the book and associated musings. Maybe some other stuff, who knows?! You can still find all the recipes on the site, but I hope you enjoy the new stuff too.
You can read more about ‘Group’ right here on the site, and of course continue to follow my random musings on Instagram
