Oh Sri Lanka. A magical, varied, chaotic island in the Indian Ocean. An island covered in palm trees, home to temples, national parks, elephants & leopards, tuk tuks and tea plantations. It’s a country which I admit, had never been that high on my radar although Ben has always wanted to go. So when the opportunity came up for us to visit it seemed silly to let it pass. Ben couldn’t wait and knew it would be brilliant {partly as he’s watched so much cricket from Colombo over the years!} whereas I didn’t really know what to expect, making it all the better once I got there and discovered just how incredible it is. It's been a while since we travelled around Asia and this time it was such a treat to do it in a more luxury, holiday style. We split our stay into two parts; the first couple of nights at in Colombo, staying at Shangri La Hotel Colombo a brand new property in the capital.

Happy Friday! And hello again, sorry for being a little quiet on here recently, if you've seen my Instagram you'll know that we've just got back from Sri Lanka! A magical week filled with palm trees, pink sunsets, elephant safaris and seriously good food. I'll be back with the travelogues for that next week. But in the meantime, although we had such an incredible time away, I'm really excited to be back home for a while. It's my Birthday next week {eek!}, the long Easter weekend, the clocks change on Sunday & I'm hoping we'll feel like Spring has arrived at last? I'm sharing some photos below that I didn't get round to sharing before we left last week and talking about the past few weeks/looking forward to the next;

Last week, Joules Clothing whisked my Mother in law Julie & I away to Cornwall for a couple of days for a Mother's Day treat. It was such a tonic and we both came back feeling completely rested after a really relaxing but fun few days with a really lovely group of other bloggers & their Mama's. I'm lucky to travel for work occasionally but this Joules trip felt completely different, it was so indulgent & we were spoilt rotten. But most of all, it was really wonderful to spend time with Ben's Mum & breath in that Cornish sea air.

You all know how I'm mad for photos, travel and interiors. So what better to combine all three! I'd been meaning to do something with our favourite snaps taken on our adventures around the globe for a long while but I couldn't quite decide what and how best to display them in our home. That was until I discovered the Little Square Gallery who creates beautiful, bespoke pieces of artwork made up of your own little squares. The end result was something far beyond my wildest dreams, and well beyond what I'd ever be able to manage on my own. And after a few excited weeks of waiting for the finished piece to arrive, it's here and I honestly can't stop looking at it and all the memories captured within.

Before this thick blanket of snow and week of freezing weather arrived I had started to get back into the garden and preparing for this year's growing season. It seems like lots of you on Instagram are keen to get going too but had a few questions. So I decided to enlist the help of an expert grower to help me answer some of them.

Hello! How are you? As you've probably seen, we're home from Aus and normal blogging has been resumed for a while! I can't remember the last time I wrote one of these weekend/catch up posts with Christmas & then our travels. I feel like I share so much on Instagram stories these days that I don't need to then repeat a load of it on the blog but actually it's nice sometimes to have it in a more permanent form to refer back to.
