Hi Sarah! It’s a funny old world – there are only 280 masters of wine and I’ve now met two of you! Thanks for your post and I hope to meet you in person at Mums The Boss soon.

Hello!
My name is Sarah Abbott; I’m a member of Mum’s the Boss, and a Master of Wine (yes, I know it doesn’t sound like a proper job, but it is really, promise.) Really enjoyed your post. Like you I did lots of seemingly unrelated jobs which have all come together now that I’m running a (toddler friendly) wine events business (www.swirl-me.co.uk if you’re interested). I’m not sure who your Master of Wine is, but there are only 280 of us. If you’re curious then you could probably find him on the Masters of Wine Website: www.mastersofwine.org.

Thanks to you to, Josie!

I was surprised by the master of wine too (all I know about wine is that it comes in 3 colours – red, white and pink!). You never know, this could be a whole new career!

Life does seem to involve a lot of ‘doing what seems best at the time’, doesn’t it? So many of the loose ends we make along the way do seem to tie themselves up eventually.

I am still getting over the fact that you can be a Master of WINE!! I have so missed my calling…

Great advice. And true for me – I’ve had a bit of a stop and start life and times felt I’d wasted my energy in things that didn’t work out. But as time goes on I begin to see how all the little experiences have added up and lead to other things. Like you say, nothing is ever wasted.

Thanks Helen! x
