A Brief Summer Break…
As it's summer and I've gone 6 whole months without a break on the blog, I've decided to take a little 2 week hiatus to enjoy the weather and get outside a bit and off my laptop. One of those weeks we'll be enjoying another trip to Menorca. We went last year and fell...
A Day of Flowers with OKA
As a blogger, I'm very lucky to be invited to lots of different events but the truth is, I rarely go to them. I know that sounds crazy because what could be better than swanning around with your fellow blogger mates, enjoying free booze and being treated like VIPs?...
Take Me Away: A Weekend in Anglesey, Wales

On Fridays, we wear pink… and navy blue and white.
So on Wednesday, I shared with you my holiday snaps of our glorious holiday in sun-soaked Menorca and in that post, I said how I am often inspired by the colours, patterns, textiles, architecture et al. of other cultures. Well, if there was one thing that I adored...

Video: Ask Me Anything – Your Questions Answered!
Well I'm back after a two week break and I have to say, as much as I've enjoyed my little hiatus, I've MISSED YOU GUYS!! So I thought to burst back onto the blogging scene with something I've never done before. Yes, it's time for me to come out from behind my camera,...
Taking a Short Summer Break!
