Okay, I have total ‘office-lust’ today! I’m not a fan of grey, old offices that seem boring! who is, right?!? I would love to meet this person that decided that drab, grey offices seemed perfect environments for people to spend the better portion of their working lives in! They deserve a good telling off! 🙂 Most … Continue Reading
3 years ago, to this day exactly, in my college room back at Cambridge University I found myself with a free day. This almost never happened! See, you know the way you see photos of students at Uni fooling around and kicking it in the pub on a Saturday? That wasn’t our lot on my course. … Continue Reading
Growing up, watercolours used to seem so amateurish to me. Probably because this was the first medium I tried to use to paint and as you probably already know, I am a terrible painter/artist. I can’t draw, I can’t really paint and even if you asked me to draw a dog now, I’m pretty sure … Continue Reading

The only thing better than … Continue Reading
Twas the night before Christmas…. The cat was getting drunk on mulled wine… Santa, all ready for Christmas, took a bit of time off for some festive golf… …before heading out to deliver presents! Unfortunately however, Rudolph wasn’t having any of it! So Santa had to resort to more creative ways to deliver the presents… … Continue Reading
So, in the post where I showed you around my home – along with some knick-knacks in it, there was one item that definitely caught everyone’s eye and that, (unsurprisingly, seeing as we all love travel) is the World Map artwork on the wall. Personally, it was one of those things where the moment I saw it, I … Continue Reading
I’m a sucker for a nicely decorated home and I think increasingly, the use of beautifully designed (yet functional) appliances can be one way to spruce up your kitchen, living room or even bedroom. Recently, I’ve been obsessed with getting a really nice coffee machine, once that can take me from actual coffee beans to a … Continue Reading
** Competitions now closed** Judging from the popularity of the last “Starter for 10” post, it’s safe to say that you love the opportunity to travel – especially so when it’s free! I am exactly the same and have spent the last few hours rummaging the internet for ways to travel the world for free. Here are some … Continue Reading
This is not a commentary or observation on the antique shop itself but instead on the items themselves. Indeed there were so many antiques homeware in the shop that I absolutely love and will share with you on a later date. 🙂 I grew up reading Enid Blyton books and I still have fond memories … Continue Reading
This one is so easy that pretty much anyone can do this in a matter of mere minute! A nice and somewhat quirky way to store wine glasses (which are always a pain to store in cupboards or drawers – especially so when they’ve just been washed and need to dry) is to hang them … Continue Reading
I’m too excited to sit still – I’ve almost fallen off my chair in excitement and no, this is not one of those times where I’ve had way too many cups of coffee! I’m very pleased to announce that *cue dramatic pause* THE DEPARTURE LOUNGE IS NOW OPEN!!! Confused? What is The Departure Lounge? I … Continue Reading
This is us. Halloween 2013. Okay, this is not my typical type of post but Halloween is right around the corner and it’s something of a party emergency! 🙂 Every year it creeps up on me – obliviously enjoying my October until… Wham! The dreaded word starts to appear everywhere from all my friends (and … Continue Reading
Being a sucker for a beautifully designed home, it was pretty obvious that I would not only be taken with Jeff Sheldon‘s home working space but that I would have to share it with you all! What do you reckon folks? Pretty sweet isn’t it?
My home decor preferences tend to go across the range, I like minimalist clean living spaces with white walls (as these bounce off more light and make the room seem spacious which is a big deal in London where houses are smaller in size relative to the rest of the country). I also like rustic, … Continue Reading
