Cornwall looks stunning at this time of year, even in the rain. I've just discovered Instagram - can you tell! No beach for me this visit - a streaming cold has kept me close to home, but the lanes around... Continue reading

Please tell me that those few days of glorious sunshine weren't the only truly Spring-like days we are going to see. My garden is beginning to bloom, I put my boots away, dug out my Summer wardrobe, made salads and... Continue reading

Well, February has nearly passed us by, thank goodness. I am longing for some sunshine, a cup of tea on the bench in my garden, opening the windows and the doors and generally not feeling quite so cold and grey.... Continue reading

My lovely sister Rachel came to spend this weekend with us while her hubby is away, and as Andy was working nights and sleeping days we had a very girly time of it indeed. When we get together food seems... Continue reading

...and breathe out the negative. I've just started yoga and this quote from the instructor in my first week has really stayed with me. I've just done week 3 and am feeling like a new woman. Who knew that an... Continue reading

I'm still reading and I was 6 years ago too! I have a real love hate relationship with my blog sometimes. I really enjoy writing it but I find the photos time consuming and the lack of light certainly makes a difference. Also as I am running a business I don't want it to just be a "please visit my shop" kind of blog, but I have much less time for all the extra photogenic things I used to do. I tend to read other blogs on my iPhone so can't then comment. I love reading my own blog back and remembering things I've done, so I am trying to get back into it and be more motivated, but the sense of community isn't there for me anymore - mainly because I don't tend to comment. Still, I think this counts as several comments in one! Sorry for the essay but you got me thinking! (Lovely flower by the way!) XX

I love the red bed! I've never had much luck with spray paint, but you obviously have the knack. Your room looks great - do you do holiday rentals?!! X

Why do I still get that Friday feeling even though I'm not at work for another 3 days and I've had 6 weeks off? It really does feel special - lie in tomorrow (just like the last 42 days!), dog... Continue reading

We had amazing weather the whole time we were in Southwold, unlike the rest of the UK apparently but it feels like that's probably it for sunshine now. My tan is fading already and this morning was the first morning... Continue reading

Wow - it really has been ages since I last wrote a post. Before half term in June in fact. I always find the end of term a manically busy time, and this one was no exception - working in... Continue reading

He's adorable. If I didn't have a great hulking labrador I'd have one of these instead - they are very cute in real life as well as in brooch form! I'd love to give this one a home! XX

What gorgeous pictures, and what a fabulous model Stella makes!! I have chicken and coop envy - I have a postage stamp of a garden so no chickens for me for a few years yet. Your bags will fly off the shelves I'm sure - they are so lovely. XX
