I'm bringing you this post by the wonder of WordPress scheduling. I'm not here, sitting in front of the computer, uploading pictures and writing this. Nope, I'm actually in Shropshire, most likely out of phone or internet reception, wandering the gorgeous grounds of our wedding venue and planning everything for the big day in September... … Continue reading A photo a day: August 3rd

A photo a day: August 2nd
Welcome to Rye. We spent a few days there earlier this week. I'll show you a couple of snaps over the next few days... Joining in with the August Break...
A photo a day: August
After complaining that I always come too late to the blogging party to join in with all the fun, my luck has changed as (thanks to the ever beautiful Start Up Wife blog) I found out about a brilliant August blog event in enough time to participate. 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... I’m such a dab hand at the iron on transfer paper by now that I actually – regular readers, … Continue reading A horse for the wall
The story of the asparagus pea
Like most back garden-vegetable growers, I can't resist the lure of the unusual. We’ve all heard innumerable times about the quest of the evil supermarkets to stamp out choice and offer us only the same few varieties of veg (those that store well and grow uniformly) whereas we (the elite! The vanguard! Those sticking it … Continue reading The story of the asparagus pea
A sewing spot
This was the scene in my sitting room last night. Friday evening, the baby’s asleep, my partner’s home from work for the weekend: the perfect time to get on with sewing some of that quilt I’ve been working on forever* while having a chat and watching some Attenborough on the TV**. The trouble is, my … Continue reading A sewing spot
Easy baby bib pattern and tutorial
About, ooooh, five months ago I decided to make my sproglet some bibs. He was six months old at the time and I wanted a bib of a decent length to actually catch all the food he was spilling down his front as I was weaning him. After a very perfunctory Google, I couldn't find … Continue reading Easy baby bib pattern and tutorial
A study in wallpaper (or Living in the ’50s)
One of my favourite London museums is the Geffrye Museum. It's a treasure trove of historical domesticity. Set in a stunning almshouse in Old Street, a series of living rooms are decorated in the style of different eras, from the 17th century, right up to the modern day. If you want to know what after … Continue reading A study in wallpaper (or Living in the ’50s)
Spiffing elderflower cordial recipe
Elderflower cordial is one of those drinks that make me feel that I’m a character in an Enid Blyton book. You know how the Famous Five went on endless picnics and every time someone drank a bottle of ginger ale, they’d proclaim to the other four, “I do declare this to be the best ginger … Continue reading Spiffing elderflower cordial recipe
