Four days ago I was sitting in a lorry, feeling physically sick with nerves. On Thursday, a car drove into the back of me during my test. And by Thursday afternoon, I had passed. Trucker Charlie, it turns out, is a real thing.

This week's vlog covers the whole of Easter, Good Friday tech lessons with my brilliant new assistant Meg, Gus coming off his skateboard (sprained wrist, not broken, huge relief, thank you NHS), Simon's church reading on Good Friday, and Coco's combined training competition with a much-improved dressage score. Then from Tuesday, three days at lorry school with the wonderful team at 2 Start Training in Worthing: reverse exam, road driving, roundabouts, hill starts, a U-turn on a dual carriageway, and against all odds a pass on Thursday.

There's also a heartfelt Molly (horse) update that I've been sitting with for a while, and a very mysterious (and very exciting) new product sample arrival that I genuinely cannot show you yet, but I’m extremely excited about. Baby lambs in the field next door and the Defender finally making it home after months away. Plus a date night in London with Simon, wearing the Lexi London dress to end what has honestly been one of the most nerve-testing weeks of my life.

And if you're ever near Arundel, the independent bookshop there is soon to be stocking Through the Seasons, which absolutely made my day. Leave "Lorry" or "Charlie Trucker" in the comments if you've made it to the end!

With love Charlie x
