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

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

Notes from a summer: Regent’s Park sunshine

September 15, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 13 Comments

A few Fridays ago, I had the most blissfully relaxing day I have had for some time. Possibly for three years, in fact. The thing about living with small kids, I find, is that no matter how many wonderful, cute, endearing individual moments there are, day-to-day life can feel a lot like a repetitive slog. … Continue reading Notes from a summer: Regent’s Park sunshine

Notes from a summer: London Wetland Centre

August 27, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 8 Comments

Ahoy there! Hello! How are you? It’s been ages, I know. I fell off grid a bit, this August. Technology (such as this dear old laptop on which I write all my blog posts) becoming substantially less appealing than lying outside in the sun on a picnic blanket. Anyway, such times have come to an … Continue reading Notes from a summer: London Wetland Centre

Trips to the Horniman museum

August 21, 2014August 21, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 6 Comments

At last! Another post in my Making the most of London series. A mere year since the last one, ha ha... Overstuffed walruses, giant totem poles, kitchen gardens growing lentils; what’s not to love about the Horniman museum? It’s one of those collections of eclectic eccentricity that the British seem to do so well. Luckily … Continue reading Trips to the Horniman museum

A photo a day: August 17th

August 17, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 8 Comments

We went blackberry picking this morning in Camberwell Old Cemetery. The cemetery is a two minute walk from our house and worth a visit as about a third of it is fantastically overgrown, with winding little lanes overhung with trees and a huge amount of brambles. There's something really romantic about the old graves, just … Continue reading A photo a day: August 17th

A stroll around Peckham Rye Park

May 12, 2013May 12, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 15 Comments

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

May 12, 2013August 21, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 2 Comments

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

Sunny afternoon photo from the Piano School courtyard. I normally always show the other side where the tree fern is (because, tree fern 💚) so here’s a view of the sunny end, with the pink wall... I designed and planted this all about 18 months ago now and it’s lovely to see how it’s settled in. Swipe for a better view of the new wall hanging herb planters, ready for summer!
It’s very remiss of me, but I haven’t yet mentioned that my Belle Époque tulips have started blooming. If you’ve been following me for more than a year you know what’s in store 😉 If you’re new, buckle up, there’s going to be some tulip spam ahead while these beauties are in flower...
Icymi: I caught up with the postponed Sunday night plant clinic last night. The question stickers weren’t working anymore, so I just had to type everything out, so anyone who asked me a question won’t get an alert I’m afraid! But head to my Stories for a read — and I’ll save to highlights today too. (Plant clinic 3.)
