Hello! Welcome to Narnia (West Sussex style). Today I was meant to be doing a ‘Search for Chic – My Journey Back from Maternity Wear’ post. I wanted to show you my  boots close up as a couple of folk have asked about them on the comments and I’ve had some emails about them. All [...]

I thought that today we’d stop by my dresser for a chat. Growing up I longed for a dressing table and I was fortunate enough to get one. I have lived in many places where a dresser has not been present and I miss them when they are not there. Hours spent cross-legged on the [...]

I’m passionate about many things. Being outdoors is one of them. Gardening and growing my own food is another.
