There is no question that Jane Austen is rooted firmly in our hearts as one of the greatest novelists of all time – not ‘among the greatest living authors’ though you understand – following a somewhat unfortunate slip of the tongue by MP, Andrea Leadsom, as she spoke in Parliament last week following the unveiling...Read More
My boyfriend and I were talking the other day about weekends and how quickly they always seem to go. Leading up to them we make a mental plan of what we’d like to do, such as seeing family and friends and making arrangements for eating in and dining out, yet before we know it, it’s Sunday...Read More
Everyone has their happy place. Whether it’s your childhood home, a certain park where you used to go as a child, a favourite holiday destination or a cosy cafe nestled away off the beaten track.
