Autumn
Hii, how are you? This week has escaped me. I mean, Friday already. Somebody pause time because it's going to be time to decorate for Christmas VERY soon. Ahhh. Anyway, embracing autumn now that the leaves are just hanging on I thought I'd share my week in photos below: ...

Man's best friend, photos with my pup.

personal
A few weeks back the lovely Cristina Rossi, a wedding photographer, came to take some photos of the pup and I for her personal project on dogs. It's a project that will eventually be curated into a book that documents the relationship between owners and their four legged friends. Riley, a cockapoo who's 6 already, brings me so much joy and I have...

Some dinners of late, and our superfood smoothie secret weapon for the Winter.

fitness
I haven't written many food posts on here, probably only this one or this. I just find writing about interiors or travel or our weekends a bit more fun, and pretty. My husband and I both LOVE food but blogging it just doesn't seem to happen very often, mostly because we're too starving to take photos of meals before wolfing them down, or they always...

Ask me anything/FAQ.

introduction
Hello! I'd been thinking of writing a Q&A post for a while, a kind of 'ask me anything'. This all started from a tweet on Twitter, Phoebe and I both had the same thoughts - we've been wanting to do something like this for a while as we get asked a lot of questions on Instagram. However we feared that if touting for...

Happy Weekend {number 41}

Autumn
I'm just going to stand up and say it. This week has been a BOOOM week. Exciting new work developments for both Ben and I, new gym training that I've smashed this week and actually felt energised and excited for, feeling so much better after a number of colds recently and just generally taking a step back to look at achievements. My friend...

Flowers In The Home

Flowers
I've always been a big lover of having fresh flowers in the house. They make it pretty, brighten your mood, are an easy way to update your decor and bring some of the outside and seasons in. Normally I'd get my blooms via a cheap bunch from the supermarket, homegrown pretties we've cut from our garden or allotment or occasionally a trip to Columbia Road...

Project House - The Lounge

DIY
The lounge was always a show-stopper in this house. On the very first viewing, we fell in love with the huge south-facing bay window and all the character. This part of the house was a Victorian extension. It was huge, almost half of the house. But it needed a little vision, a big room is lovely but you need to be able to...

Garden - Growing Dahlias.

Flowers
Dahlias are one of my favourite flowers, partly because they're so ridiculously pretty and intricate in their petals but also because they just bloom and bloom away from the beginning of summer right up until the first frosts. I've been a bit obsessed with them this summer and have had lots of requests for a post on how to grow them. They're not...

Hydrangeas at Columbia Road Flower Market, and the first visit to the Pumpkin Farm.

Dayout
Hello, Happy Friday! You made it through another week. Although I don't really like this countdown/wishing the week away to get to the weekend. As my Dad always told me, if you do that then you end up wishing about 4/7 of your life away. Which is quite sad when you think about it. So yes I'm always glad when Friday arrives as...

Project House // Bathroom {with *that* pink sink}

DIY
The full transformation post on our bathroom. Such a difference to how it was before! And is it wrong to admit that sometimes I walk in and think 'wow this is actually our bathroom', I love it.  ...

Hello! Just a quick post from me today as I've just written a hugee feature over on So You're Getting Married all about Soho Farmhouse {here}. I wanted to share some extra photos below to look back on. It was both the dreamiest, funnest, craziest yet classiest place ever and I didn't ever want to leave. Bikes, boats, barns, converted milk floats and...
