Shopping
It is my absolute favourite time of year. A time when it is still light when we look out of the window at 9pm and the sun is slowly starting to rise as early as 4am. I was lucky enough to discover this the other morning when our dog started barking at a pigeon in...

Affectionately referred to as the bag of the summer, the basket bag has been making a much-welcomed return now for several years. Reminiscent of long summer days picnicking, strolling through fields, picking up supplies at village markets, or perhaps adventuring off on a bicycle to a previously unexplored destination, basket bags are wonderfully romantic and...

Whilst we wouldn’t necessarily class March as a typical month in which to wed, the early months of spring and later weeks of autumn it seems, are growing more and more popular. You could argue of course, that with the uncertainty of the Great British summer, any month of the year could in fact bring...

Winter Dressing
It sometimes feels as though during the winter months, we find ourselves confined to thick knits, chunky scarfs and bobble hats. With the sun not rising until much later, getting dressed in the dark – unless you’ve prepped what you’re wearing the night before – rarely results in an overly stylish outfit. While I love...

An urge to update your wardrobe or renovate your home is a common occurrence in the new year. Perhaps it is the opportunity for rejuvenation or revival which presents itself and to which we inevitably succumb, or those small seeds of spring and summer which begin to plant slowly in our minds.

gifts
Although a nation of shoppers, we are also known to be – in some circumstances – a nation of last minute shoppers too. Whilst frantically buying all my presents on Christmas Eve does not appeal to me, there are many others who seem to either thrive on the pressure or simply forget, and end up...
