Hello Friday! Whoop. Today has been great. Fun team day at work + leaving early in the sun + drinking wine and making dinner with Mr J = Happy me. Here are my favourites this week… 1. Spots & stripes place setting Could it be any more perfect? I’m already thinking this has DIY written […]
What a week! The first five-dayer in what seems like forever is finally over and I’m pooped. I’m totally ready for bed – is 7pm too early for a 30-something? Can’t we just all agree to work four-day weeks in future? They’re much more fun. I’ve been a busy bumble bee this week, so no […]
With flamingos in hats, owls that sprout flowers and racoons wearing pussy bow blouses a little animal addition to your interiors is a super cute trend. Us Brits love animals and add to that a dash of our infamous eccentricity, some animal inspired pieces in your home is guaranteed to make you smile. Selecting these has been great fun. […]
If I had a pound for everytime I said ‘we should go to London more’, I’d be at least £50 up. We’ve got the enviable boast of having the best of both worlds. Countryside living less than 45 minutes from London. So, with a firm date in the diary, Mr J & I headed off […]
Apparently at the Oscars last night they gave out some awards. Honestly, I don’t know who won what award. I just want to look at the frocks. So here is my personal round-up of the fash-pack winners. Amy Adams in Oscar de la Renta. There are dresses. And then there are Oscars dresses. This is […]

Is Spring a’springing? Yes, it’s cold and a bit grey but these Tulips are a teeny ray of sunshine in dull February. Soon we’ll be seeing Tulips popping up all over the place – and I cannot wait. I love them. Such a laid back flower. And they’re a sure sign that spring-y goodness is […]
I don’t tend to buy high-street bags. Don’t judge, it’s just my thing. I’m more of an investment kinda gal. I maybe buy one classic every other year as part of my ‘keep-forever’ strategy. I’m hoping my kids are anti handbags as I really won’t ever be able to share my Louis Vuitton. Blood or not! But […]
… different things for different people. But for me, today, love is Mr J buying me some builder gloves. What an angel. Although not traditionally romantic, they may be one of my favourite gifts from him – so thoughtful and guaranteed to make me laugh. We were clearing some of the garden ready for the […]
So we’ve had the drawings, erm, well, drawn. And paid the extortionate fees to the Council. Next up was getting builders round to quote for the work. It’s a bit of a strange one, as in the last 5 years we’ve only had 2 people working on the house. One was a plasterer (and every […]
