Take Me Away: Historic Lincoln and the Lincolnshire Coast
So we got away for a couple of days for Wayne's 40th birthday. A few months ago, when I asked him what he wanted to do, he told me he wanted a weekend away in a cabin with a hot tub, somewhere far enough away to feel like we're away but not so far away that...
Recharging the Batteries: Going To Play Outside
I'm having a little bit of a break. Not a long one, just a few days and I'll be back soon :) It's Wayne's birthday this weekend and we've decided to have a wee rest away from the world.Running two blogs is fun but goodness, I never really switch off. ...
What a Week Part II: Meet The Blogger Stockholm Design Tour and My News! EEK!
So where did we leave off? Oh yes, the Meet The Blogger Stockholm Sunday Design Tour! Can I just say in the interests of full disclosure that the Scandic Grand Central Hotel that we all stayed in was rather wickedly cool as well? It was. On Sunday at 1pm, about 75...
What a Week Part I: Meet The Blogger Stockholm
Goodness, what a whirlwind this week has been! Again, my blog posts are ridiculously sparse and for that, I apologise. I left on Friday morning for Stockholm to attend Meet the Blogger and returned shattered and happy on Monday - and what a fabulous experience it...
Catching My Breath: What’s Happening in My World
Hello my lovelies, well it's been over a week since my last post. Alas, life has been very very busy of late and as much as I hate neglecting my blog, there are times when other things take priority.It was my birthday on Saturday - not just any birthday but a...
Take Me Away: Strozzi Palace and a wander around Cheltenham, Gloucester
So this weekend, we ventured 2 hours south to the lovely picturesque town of Cheltenham in Gloucester (That's pronounced GLOSS-TER, not GLOUW-ses-ter for my American brethren. I swear the English name their towns and then pronounce them completely differently just to...
Show and Tell: Before, Afters, New Stuff & Guest Posts!
Firstly, I need to apologise that I've not been around much the last few days - things have been a bit hectic around here but there are reasons for this which I will get to soon... In the meantime, just a warning - this blog post is going to be just a mishmash cuz...
Take Me Away: Bellinter House, County Meath Ireland
I have lived in England for just over 10 years now. Our (I think I've earned the right to claim it as my own if only in my heart) fair isle - where everything is on your doorstep in terms of the rest of Europe, never mind the rest of what's on the British Isles...
Take Me Away: Corinthian Club, Glasgow
I went to Glasgow last year for the first time. It was the day after we'd moved everything out of W's house and into storage and moved our necessities to W's mum's house for 6 weeks whilst we waited to close on our house. Needless to say, we'd been packing for 5...
Take Me Away: Brody House, Budapest
I was in Budapest, Hungary way back in 2001. The city is a charming eclectic mix of beautiful buildings and I enjoyed exploring both banks of the River Danube. My friend and I stayed at a crummy little hostel which was perfectly serviceable but now I'm thinking we...
Take Me Away: London Calling
Can I just start by saying a huge thank you to everyone who commented on my guest bedroom post. You are all way too kind, especially as the room is no where near done. It's given me incentive to continue to get it truly swoon worthy someday. I'm so pleased some of...
Take Me Away: 40 Winks
There is most definitely something of the English Eccentric in the East London 18th century Queen Anne townhouse that David Carter has opened up as a sort of super chic boutique bed and breakfast for the ultra trendy. Initially used for photo shoots and film sets,...
Ooooh It’s good to be home!
I'm back in the land of the living! The holiday was lovely and it was so nice to get away, just me and W for a few days. We had decent weather, a few glorious days as these pics will attest and a few overcast ones as well. Unfortunately I got quite ill whilst there...
Take Me Away: Teneriffic…
Sorry that was a bit of a crap twist on the word Tenerife but I'm in holiday mode yo. You may have noticed my absence (all 3 of you, Hi Mum) but never fear, I'm just temporarily indisposed. My fabulous, generous, wonderful boyfriend W has decided to wisk me away...
