Yesterday morning we arrived back from our summer holiday in Greece. We had a great time in the blisteringly hot sunshine. However, looking out my office window at the grey clouds rolling by, that sunshine already seems like a distant memory. There are advantages and disadvantages to travelling abroad at the end of the summer holidays. […]
It doesn’t take much to make me happy. In fact, most of the time all it takes is a bowl of ice cream, a blanket and a ‘Biggest Loser’ marathon on telly. However, every now and then I’m cheered by the little things that make life more beautiful. Here is a list of some of the things […]
Have you ever spotted a shop on Instagram that was so far away that you (albeit briefly) contemplated moving house to be close to it? No? Just me then (awkward). Anyway, that’s how I felt when I spotted Hero on Instagram. Based in Southampton, it is literally the other side of the country to where I […]
I’m baaack. Yes, after a massively prolonged absence, I’m back in the proverbial blogging saddle. The main reason why I stopped was to spend more time with my family. Combined with the fact that I forgot the reason why I started blogging in the first place meant that I had to give myself a […]

At this time of year thoughts often drift to decorating and what can be done to change the rooms we live in. I think it ‘s because there’s so little to entertain us in our gardens (especially in Britain – please, no more rain…) our thoughts drift to how we can beautify our interiors. I’ve […]
Anyone who reads this blog or follows my Pinterest feed will know that I’ve got a thing for bikes and have since last summer. Black ones, pink ones, blues ones – it doesn’t really matter what colour they are as long as they look vintagey and have a basket on the front. Here are a […]
1/2/3/4/5/6/ Not long ago, wearing a lace dress would have made you look like a Miss Havisham tribute act. Not so anymore. I’m loving all the lace accents this season. I don’t know whether I’m brave enough to go for the lace printed leggings, but I’ve definitely got my eye on that green sweatshirt, the […]
As a mother of 2 kids under 5 I don’t get many opportunities to go the cinema very often. So I usually wait till they put them on the telly and watch them in the comfort of my own front room (much cheaper). However, it has to be said, there are some films that […]
