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

Urban Jungle Bloggers: planty wishes for 2016

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

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.
