Hello! Welcome to my corner of the world in West Sussex. I have been here all week, apart from yesterday when I was up in London for a meeting. It’s great for me, as a mum, to don a summer dress, heels and make-up and stride through the streets of London in the sun occasionally. [...]

Hello! Good morning! How are you? I thought I’d do a wee update from my garden today. An update and a confession but more on the confession later. I’ve got so much going on outside in the garden right now that it can get a little tricky to keep up with it all. ALWAYS one [...]

Garden, garden, garden. From Friday afternoon until Sunday evening when I fell exhausted on to the sofa. The inside of the house is remaining woefully unpacked but the outside is taking shape. I said to Louise (my sort of sister – in – law) as I began to stack the dishwasher ” I don’t want [...]

I now have a comments function. Leave your comment/question at the end of every post! On Sunday night, as the rain lashed against the windows, I asked myself if it really was the end of Summer. I’m not so sure it is. I often get caught out like this. I assume the long hot days [...]

Robert the Husband says that I like to colonize areas. By this he means that if there is a space I will fill it. Whether that be with junk that actually needs to be sorted properly and put away or with an idea. When creating a container garden in the space outside my back door [...]

Very new babies sleep an awful lot, don’t they? They sleep a lot more than I thought they would. When they are asleep there always seem to be things to do before they wake up for the next feed. Tidying up (not getting a whole lot of that done, I’ll be honest). Cooking and eating [...]

So much is happening in the garden at the moment, so much of it it finally coming to life. This was the rose on the front of the house about two weeks ago. It had about three roses blooming on it. And now it’s full and basking in the early summer’s sun first thing in [...]
