A jug of flowers today; including some beautiful cosmos and sweet peas. Staying at our wedding venue-to-be in Shropshire at the weekend, we found a jug like this in every apartment. They had been picked from the cutting garden. More on Shropshire tomorrow... Joining in with the August Break.

One last photo from Rye. Because, let's face it, wouldn't we all rather be at the Mermaid Corner Tea Rooms about to tuck into breakfast on this Monday morning? Joining in with the August Break.

A photo a day: August 3rd
I'm bringing you this post by the wonder of WordPress scheduling. I'm not here, sitting in front of the computer, uploading pictures and writing this. Nope, I'm actually in Shropshire, most likely out of phone or internet reception, wandering the gorgeous grounds of our wedding venue and planning everything for the big day in September... … Continue reading A photo a day: August 3rd

Because, the back garden at the moment is a riot, a … Continue reading Garden moodboard: June
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.

Late again, late again and a travel dream

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
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
