I think most of us have things in our homes that we’d like to get sorted out before Christmas. Christmas being the time when a great many of us spend a large chunk of time at home. For me I wanted to have a portion of the kitchen, if not finished, then well on its [...]

Hello! Happy Friday! Oh and by the way you guys are just about the most amazing bunch of people I have ever come across. Seriously, to give that much thought and consideration to the question of a forum posed yesterday was invaluable to me. Each reason for and against was totally valid and had merit. [...]

I found myself up in London yesterday and in the office of a dear friend. She was telling me how she had just had a huge de-cluttering session at her house and how she was now going to start on her office. I asked her whether it felt good to have her entire home ‘sorted’ [...]

I believe I’m still holding out for an Indian Summer. I also believe I may be holding out for some time. It was COLD this morning. We put the fire on for the first time while the kids had their milk just to warm the room up a bit and all of us had our [...]

This is the kitchen. It is, without doubt, my favourite kitchen in the world. Certainly the best one I’ve ever lived in, cooked in, eaten in, chatted in and thrown bagels at Robert’s head in. It has huge windows and a tall ceiling. And a lovely light and airy feel as well as a fabulous [...]

Hello and Happy Friday! I’m back to pottering. With the drama of the last few months less acute and with the worry subsiding somewhat I’ve taken refuge, as my own sort of healing process, in pottering. This is what I do, it’s what I’ve always done even when trying to follow another life path, and [...]

Hello! I wanted to show you something today and get your opinion on it. It is this sweet white wooden trug. I call it my New England Trug as anything wooden and painted white reminds me of that part of the world. It was designed and made by my Dad in an evening, he’s good [...]

I’ve wanted a Floral Wall for a very long time. I’ve seen them done so beautifully in magazines, books and online and when we arrived at this house and I saw that the walls were big and tall and wide I knew that somewhere in this house I’d have this wall that I’d wanted for [...]

I’m not a professional photographer, just an enthusiastic one, so I’m hoping that I’ve managed to capture what this morning has been like here at my home in West Sussex. I woke early after a very hot night, got up with the alarm at about 05.45am, headed straight for the shower and made the decision [...]
