We all have at least one (possibly more) book we go back to again and again. One we've read so much the cover has fallen off. One we know back to front and sideways. One where the characters are like our friends and family, so real that if they turned up on the doorstep tomorrow,... Continue Reading →
I already shared this on my Instagram (and if you didn't know I was on there, please pop over and see me), but for I love it so much I'm putting it on here too. Ta-da! I even tried a flat lay thing and everything. Also this is not what I usually share on Instagram,... Continue Reading →

I have a bit of a thing for interior decorating. I'm not that good at it, but I'll happily spend hours reading magazines and scanning Pinterest, wishing I had the skill (and money) to create something impressive in my own house.
