I didn't go to the inaugural Blogtacular in 2014 (I was busy pushing a baby out of my lady parts at the time) but I saw one quote from it repeated time and again: "You will always have more ideas than time... ...and that's alright." It resonated with me as much as it clearly resonated … Continue reading On the blog: plans for 2016

Over on Pinterest: houseplant heaven
Since joining in with Urban Jungle Bloggers these past few months, I've been seriously bitten with the houseplant bug. I’ve got to confess, for a long time I thought houseplants were a bit 70s. A bit naff. A bit macramé pot holders (though they, of course, are now massively back in fashion…) And, most of … Continue reading Over on Pinterest: houseplant heaven
Lovely dead crap
It's possible I've become a little bit too obsessed with dying flowers. My housework abilities are a little on the lax side (I say, with some element of understatement) so it is pretty much guaranteed that if I have flowers in my house at any point, I will spend a good fortnight with dying flowers … Continue reading Lovely dead crap
Release the frogs!
These past few weekends we've been digging out the pond from the bottom of our garden to convert it to flower bed. I'd been agonising about what to do with the pond (as is my wont) for a good few years. On the one hand, the pond isn't very safe for the kids, is under … Continue reading Release the frogs!
Urban Jungle Bloggers: plant shelfie
I’d written you a ridiculously whiney blog post to go with these pictures a week or so ago. It was mostly complaining about the lack of light and how much I had to do at the moment. “Oh I’m sooooooo busy right now.” “Oh the light is sooooo bad right now.” “Oh I’m soooooo stressed … Continue reading Urban Jungle Bloggers: plant shelfie
Three ways to plant a terrarium
You know the string of hearts plant that I bought last week for my sister’s birthday and then fell in love with so much I became reticent to give it away? Well, I needn’t have worried, for she is a sister of excellent taste and – at our joint birthday celebration last weekend – she … Continue reading Three ways to plant a terrarium
Urban Jungle Bloggers: plants and art
I’m sure you’ve all come across Urban Jungle Bloggers, a monthly series about living with plants, organised by Igor and Judith, that aims to: “highlight the beauty and benefits of houseplants and other greeneries in urban spaces." As you know, I’m something of a plant fanatic, so the only surprise is that it’s taken … Continue reading Urban Jungle Bloggers: plants and art
Food collaging: my July harvest
I’m completely addicted to taking courses. Photography, blogging, garden design, how to rear alpacas… …you name it, if I’m half interested and there’s a course I could possibly take, chances are I’m going to sign up. (I often think that if I won the lottery, the best thing of all would just be to take … Continue reading Food collaging: my July harvest
Falling in love again
Of course we loved our house when we first bought it. You’ve got to really love a collection of bricks to hand over the best part of half a million pounds, after all. I remember when we first viewed it: I was seven months pregnant, we were looking at 13 houses that weekend and we … Continue reading Falling in love again
All quiet on the blogging front
I’ve been a little quieter than normal on the blog recently. But don’t worry, I’m not stuck in the same lethargic funk as I was all over the winter In fact, quite the opposite. Chez Wolves in London has been a crazy hive of activity recently. The littlest is going to be one in just … Continue reading All quiet on the blogging front
