Hello! I’d just like to say that I am very proud to be British right now. The streets are still lined with bunting and the Union Jack continues to fly from most of the gardens and windows in our neighborhood. I’m very glad that we have regained our beautiful flag from certain ugly and disgusting [...]

This fabulous fireplace is in the room the Robert and I are currently sleeping in. I say currently because there is a room that would be better for us as it has more storage space but this room is opposite the children and we want to be near them right now. Anyway, I was [...]

I decorate with a lot of different shades of white. But you already knew that. I use the white as a background, a canvas, a shell with which to place colour. It’s not a new way of decorating, that’s for sure, I’m not breaking new design ground here, but I do find that the possibilities [...]

Occasionally, as in the case of my lemon meringue pie for instance, it is necessary to half-bake the pastry that lines the pie case before baking the filling of choice. If you were to line the pie case [...]

Hello! So, after weeks of having Pomegranates drying in my kitchen yesterday they were ready to be attached and made in to my Christmas door wreath for this year. The wreath is actually hanging from what is officially the back door but this is the door that everyone uses when they visit so it makes [...]

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’ [...]
