Not much chat this morning (I've got a Monday morning head on, I'm afraid) but just a few pics of things I harvested / grew / stole over the weekend, along with plans for their transformation... First up, this verdant little bunch of wild garlic leaves. I've felt a little jealous of the country lifestyle … Continue reading Bounty from the weekend

Pin it forward UK: I’d like to introduce…
I’m pretty sure I’m preaching to the converted with this article, so let me just summarise everything that’s going to follow in four words: I flipping love Pinterest. Somehow, Pinterest must have found out how much I love them and decided to let me know that they love me back, because they asked me to … Continue reading Pin it forward UK: I’d like to introduce…
A stroll around Peckham Rye Park
Part of my Making the Most of London series It’s been dawning on me recently that I’m not so young any more. It’s not the wrinkles and increasing number of grey hairs that are the biggest giveaway. Nope, it’s the way I choose to spend my spare time that is the real telltale sign. Not … Continue reading A stroll around Peckham Rye Park
Making the most of London
I’m someone who likes to plan. Not in a “did we buy enough bread to see us through to the weekend?” kind of way. More in a “ooooh, why don’t we move to Croatia in a year and buy a boat and sail to Greece and learn to make Greek food and then come back … Continue reading Making the most of London
Late again, late again and a travel dream
Ever feel like you've turned up to the party a day late when everyone else has already started cleaning up? That's me at the moment. Or perhaps, I've turned up and can see everyone else inside having fun, but they're being too loud to hear me frantically ringing on the doorbell... You see, I keep … Continue reading Late again, late again and a travel dream
Five things about me
Regular readers will know that here on this blog I move at the speed of a gazelle. Okay, perhaps at the speed of a very young gazelle. With a club foot. Who is just learning to walk in heels. Anyone who read my post at the start of March about these children’s T-shirts I made … Continue reading Five things about me
Garden moodboard: May
When we moved into our house last September there was a giant cactus in the front garden. As you're reading the words “giant cactus” I suspect you’re imagining a large cactus in a pot. Maybe a couple of feet tall. Nope, what I’m talking about is a giant cactus, growing straight out of the ground. … Continue reading Garden moodboard: May
Print your own wrapping paper
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most satisfying. I always find it really hard to find nice wrapping paper – and when I do, I'm then completely shocked at the cost of it. You frequently pay a fiver just to buy some paper to put a present in that will immediately get thrown into the … Continue reading Print your own wrapping paper
Beautiful letterpress business cards
Just dropping in very quickly this morning to show you a few pictures of these little beauties: What is that heavenly thing of wonder? I hear you ask. Is it the latest exhibit at the Tate? Is it the winner of the Turner prize? Is it a new work by Hockney? Prepare to be amazed, … Continue reading Beautiful letterpress business cards
Brighton: a plethora of pattern
When I was down in Brighton over the weekend, it seemed as if everywhere I went I saw amazing patterns, embedded into the everyday fabric of the city. I don’t know whether it was just that I was on holiday, so was looking around me with a little more interest and leisure than I normally … Continue reading Brighton: a plethora of pattern
