Is showing some holiday photos on a blog the modern day equivalent of the dreaded slide evenings in the 1970s? Quite possibly, but, stuff it, I'm going to show you a few pics anyway. At least if you're not interested you can just look away now, and I won't force you to drink any of … Continue reading A few holiday snaps

Down on the farm
We're off on hols this week; staying on a farm where we plan to ride horses and tractors and collect our own eggs from the chickens every morning. Perhaps we might even spot a pig as glorious as this one... I intended, of course, to schedule lots of blog posts in advance so you wouldn't … Continue reading Down on the farm
5 ideas from Hampton Court flower show

It was an English summer personified: the drowsy song of bees in the air, the sun beating down with occasional white clouds drifting across the blue skies, endless (endless!) stalls selling Pimms and rather a lot of people dressed in striped … Continue reading 5 ideas from Hampton Court flower show

But as I looked round my … Continue reading Garden moodboard: July

Finding vintage images
If you've visited me here at Wolves in London before (hello! if you haven't, nice to meet you!) you'll know I am a huge fan of beautiful old illustrations. There is something so wonderfully evocative about a good vintage image. Perhaps it's the delicate detail of some drawings that transports you back to a world … Continue reading Finding vintage images

The garden in June
I know, I know, I've been a bit garden-tastic over the past few weeks, what with all my chat about greenhouses and sheds and so on. I am working on some more craft-related posts at the moment too, you may be relieved to hear, but I couldn't resist joining in once more this week with … Continue reading The garden in June
