Keeping houseplants alive through winter

December 6, 2019November 11, 2020 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

When I first started studying horticulture, one of my tutors said something about houseplants that kind of blew my brain. “No plant wants to live inside your house, they all want to be outside…” And I suddenly realised: it's not me, it's them! I've learnt so much about plants in the six years since then … Continue reading Keeping houseplants alive through winter

Meet the houseplant: a new series

July 7, 2019November 21, 2020 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

My home, these days, is stuffed full of houseplants. An urban jungle, an indoor rainforest, a interior garden… …you get the idea, there’s a lot of greenery. Though I’ve not been blogging so much recently, I’ve developed a bit of an Instagram addiction (go and check me out over there if you’re not already! @wolvesinlondon). … Continue reading Meet the houseplant: a new series

London with kids: the V&A Museum

May 8, 2019May 7, 2019 ~ Wolves in London ~ 2 Comments

Most of the time, if I’m planning on taking the kids into the centre of London, I try to find somewhere that is super child-friendly and where we won’t be the only ones running, jumping and yelling at the top of our voices. But occasionally – most especially during the school holidays – my one … Continue reading London with kids: the V&A Museum

The rusty old cogs whirring into life again

April 4, 2019April 4, 2019 ~ Wolves in London ~ 17 Comments

At the start of this year, I had a great plan. I was going to write a novel. It would be a great novel. It would almost certainly win the Booker prize. There seemed to be no reason at all why I couldn’t put this plan into action. The littlest had started nursery two days … Continue reading The rusty old cogs whirring into life again

New home snapshots

June 30, 2017 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

Goodness, hello my poor old deserted blog! How's everything going over here? If anyone's still out there, hi! *waves* Hope you're all well. I've noticed I'm not the only one whose blog has been receiving far less attention than usual. Are we all about to jump ship completely to somewhere like instagram? Is this the … Continue reading New home snapshots

A new garden and some new plans

May 25, 2017 ~ Wolves in London ~ Leave a comment

With great excitement, we handed in our notice on our rental house recently. Our definitely-completed-in-six-months building project is now at the start of month eight and, finally, builders have started on the final phase. The project has been drastically scaled back (the attic conversion is now going to have to wait for another time) but … Continue reading A new garden and some new plans

Currently reading: The other side of the bridge

April 26, 2017April 26, 2017 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

I’m recently returned from Dorset. A ten day break over the Easter hols, staying in a glorious cottage done up in impeccable taste. (Ahem, for which read, done up in my exact taste…) I have a no-TV-on-holidays rule that I tend to adhere to. In our normal life, we watch an insane amount of television. … Continue reading Currently reading: The other side of the bridge

An Eltham Palace jaunt

March 28, 2017 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

1930s interiors, beautifully planted gardens and a pet lemur: surely an irresistible combination for a Saturday afternoon. On a recent drizzling weekend, we bundled the kids into the car and set off for a return visit to Eltham Palace and Gardens. (Disclaimer: the pet lemur is no longer there in any living form, sadly, though … Continue reading An Eltham Palace jaunt

Home inspiration: relaxing bathrooms

February 8, 2017 ~ Wolves in London ~ 2 Comments

I am, once again, deep in the throes of a house renovation. It’s been six months since we bought our new house and moved into rented accommodation while we did the building work. We originally thought that it was a four month build (ha ha ha, *head falls off from laughing so hard at the … Continue reading Home inspiration: relaxing bathrooms

Life, the universe and everything

January 30, 2017 ~ Wolves in London ~ 23 Comments

Hello friends! To paraphrase one of my favourite Robert Lowell poems*, I’m back, after three months away. So, why the long pause? Well, I am tempted to give the usual excuses. You know, I was heavily pregnant, I had a baby, life was a bit more tiring with three kids, Christmas came along etc etc. … Continue reading Life, the universe and everything

Love this idea from @nurturingfolk — 60 pictures from 2022, set to 1 second each and don’t overthink it or stress!
We had a gorgeous Christmas at my sister’s in Gloucestershire, where the houses are beautiful especially when the sun sets across the valley and bathes everything in a golden glow.
Had to get some of the snowy delight onto my grid…
A magical week in Umbria at @ahavenforstories. Morning mists, golden sunsets, a whole host of amazing writers who have become new friends, and the absolute best tutors: @noughticulture @elisevalmorbida and Tobias Jones. (I squeezed in a tiny bit of writing too 😉…) Am already planning my return next year.
