If you follow me on Instagram you might have noticed that we recently spent a weekend in France cooking curry. I even wrote about the house we stayed in for Window Wednesday recently, but I didn’t really talk much about the weekend itself in that post.

The Pig in Brockenhurst is just one of the Pig hotels on the south Coast and is the focus of Window Wednesday this week. Other Pigs can be found in Southampton, Studland, the Mendip Hills, Devon, Kent and Cornwall but it was the one in the New Forest that Annie and I plumped for when we wanted somewhere for lunch this week. The setting couldn’t have been more perfect, easily accessible
A very special bungalow features on Window Wednesday today. It was early in the year when we saw the bungalow for the first time on Rightmove. Despite it being slightly over budget the estate agent had assured us that it ticked all the boxes we had set and the vendors may be open to an offer since we were keen to move fast and it had been on

I have always had a thing about windows, about the view through them that gets perfectly framed by the frame itself, or by stained glass and the stories they can tell.

Life this summer has been bonkers, some would say ridiculously so. No two weekends have been the same and many haven’t gone to plan (this last one being a case in point.

Some telling you how to do it, some telling you it is the best thing they ever did, some saying they regretted it the second the stylist made the first cut and are now wearing a hat for eight weeks.
