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

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

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

Introducing Blanco, Ginger, Polka and Dot

August 1, 2016July 28, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 2 Comments

Goodness, but it’s been a long time since we first got our chickens and I’ve been meaning to introduce them to you ever since. Turns out, though, that chickens are seriously hard to photograph. I guess it's all that pecking about. Getting them to stand still long enough for me to take a photo has … Continue reading Introducing Blanco, Ginger, Polka and Dot

A-hunting we will go

February 24, 2016February 24, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 13 Comments

I’m just back from a long weekend in Wiltshire, once again looking at our dream house to try and force us into a decision about whether we’re really going to sell up in London and head for the countryside… We seem to be almost chronically unable to finally make the decision – torn between the … Continue reading A-hunting we will go

Experiment: growing succulents in water

January 27, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 11 Comments

I found this stunning photo on Pinterest (where else?) a little while ago. It's of a sort of terrarium-slash-vase called the 1012 Terra glass vessel (you can buy it here) and is made by a Japanese duo called Daisuke Tsumanuma and Kenichi Yamada. I have been lusting for such wondrousness in my house ever since … Continue reading Experiment: growing succulents in water

The bottom of the garden

January 15, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 7 Comments

What will go at the bottom of the garden? Endless hours, days and possibly even weeks have been spent pondering this dilemma in the three years we’ve lived in this house. Our house renovations / remodeling / decorating / re-decorating where the kids have drawn on the walls are almost finished. (Yes, I know I’ve … Continue reading The bottom of the garden

January 12, 2016January 11, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 4 Comments

I’m a bit late with the December post for Urban Jungle Bloggers. As the eagle-eyed among you will have spotted, it’s not actually December anymore. But the theme for the month is planty wishes for 2016 and I love it so much that I can’t miss the chance to join in, even if it's nearly … Continue reading Urban Jungle Bloggers: planty wishes for 2016

My ex bought me flowers this week because he knew I was having a rough time. Choosing to end our marriage a few years ago was one of the bravest and scariest things I have ever done. The thing that terrified me the most was that there were almost no role models I could look to for an amicably divorced couple (literally just one incredible friend, who was and is so unbelievably important to me) and I wondered if the idea I had of an amicable separation that didn’t irreparably fuck up our kids was just a ridiculous fantasy. (Even my therapist at the time heavily hinted that it was…) Of course, it hasn’t always been straightforward, but it is the nicest feeling to realise that the kind and supportive person I chose to start a relationship with 14 years ago is now a kind and supportive friend who I can turn to when I’m overwhelmed.
After the excitement of having a story chosen for an anthology and another shortlisted in a writing competition at the start of the year, I decided to get some new bio photos taken professionally. I did a shoot with the absolutely lovely @camillagreenwellphotography and am soooo happy with the results! These are a few of my faves. Camilla was so incredibly lovely, and also deeply patient of the fact I am the most awkward person ever in front of a camera, ha ha. (What do people DO with their arms?!)
It’s finally that time of year again…
Rainy Saturday morning. Off to exercise class and then back home to curl up on the sofa and read a book. (Almost tempted to light a fire, the weather is so fucking bleak for April 1st…)
