It is rare that I get to sit down for a cup of tea with my mum. For all sorts of logistical reasons and also because a cup of tea is something my mum rarely enjoys these days. Not since she gave up dairy a few years ago. A kinesiologist has suggested that some health issues she had been having might be related to dairy and could well alleviated
It feels like ages since I have posted something for my weekly window post. My love for windows and their ability to frame a photo hasn’t diminished but time to go out and photograph them had recently. Last week we ventured to Guildford for a mooch on New Year’s Eve and to see if anything grabbed us in the sales and on the way back we realised we had

And save yourself a whole ton of other one off delivery charges from other companies. Amazon Prime Now You know that feeling when you realise you have no
I am not really sure why I am writing this post but it feels like the first post of the year should be a proper one. A formal one to mark the start of a new bunch of 365 days.

Week 5 of Ginmas, our final week of a gin a day Week 5 of #Ginmas is now done and I have to say that at the beginning I really wasn’t sure if I would manage to post a gin a day for a whole month.

All of the above are the gins I shared during week 4 of #Ginmas over on social media (my month of gins, one a day for the whole of December) but wanted to record them all here too.

Here are five tips you can use to make the process of moving house a little bit easier if you have kids in tow. Warn children
Ginmas Week 3 So apologies for this post being a day late. Should have had it up yesterday but <insert long list of pathetic excuses involving a to do list longer than your arm and a five hour lunch with a client> …. Another week of seven different gins and Ginmas Week 3. Eek! I wasn’t sure this would actually work and that I would be able to keep it
Christmas Around the World Christmas traditions around the world fascinate me. In fact any kinds of traditions do and this year I have made a concerted effort to start reinforcing some of our own. You see things have changed over the past few years with us either being at Mr B’s parents, my parents, away in a rented cottage in Cornwall etc, but last year the teens said they
How many status updates have I seen on Facebook this week where people have said “oh god I have just spent hours writing cards and I am not even half way through” or “I have cramp” or “I am so bored with writing cards now”.
