I'm six days late with my garden moodboard for August, though looking at the photo you could be forgiven for thinking I was month late and this was the bounty for September. What's happened to all my flowers? These are literally the only few I could find. (And the rose was one of only two … Continue reading Garden moodboard: August

A jug of flowers today; including some beautiful cosmos and sweet peas. Staying at our wedding venue-to-be in Shropshire at the weekend, we found a jug like this in every apartment. They had been picked from the cutting garden. More on Shropshire tomorrow... Joining in with the August Break.

One last photo from Rye. Because, let's face it, wouldn't we all rather be at the Mermaid Corner Tea Rooms about to tuck into breakfast on this Monday morning? Joining in with the August Break.

Hoorah! August Break is the brainchild of Susannah … Continue reading A photo a day: August
Doggy draught excluders
You know how it’s scorchingly hot at the moment? Well, in a moment of topical genius, I’ve chosen today to talk about cold weather. About draughts, to be specific. Remember them? The whistling cold wind burrowing its way under your doors to negate any good your central heating is doing… Sounds quite pleasant right now, … Continue reading Doggy draught excluders
A horse for the wall
There’s nothing nicer than knowing that a handmade present was well-received, so I was delighted that this horse T-shirt was such a hit that the recipient's Mum requested a bigger version for his recent third birthday...
