Easter Bonnets and Cake!

The Easter weekend was so much fun, I wish we had more four day bank holidays! It was all about Easter bonnets and cake this weekend.

Childish Ways To Improve Mental Health

Perhaps if more adults took up childish pastimes — building Lego, doing jigsaws, colouring in, playing board games, making pom-poms — 'adulting' might be a little easier; the world might be a gentler, nicer place.

Decorating Childrens Rooms with Hand Painted Wall Murals

About 15 years ago I was asked if I would decorate a friend’s daughter’s bedroom; with some hand painted wall murals. It was years before the advent of wall decals and vinyl stickers. But my friend wanted something fun and pretty to break up the vast expanse of magnolia. The room was a bit of an odd shape …

Spring Florals and Edible Flower Biscuits

There has been so much chat on my social media feeds about last week’s mini heatwave. We Brits are obsessed with the weather aren’t we? It’s either too wet, hot, cold, too snowy or windy. We don’t ever seem to agree on what’s the perfect temperature. I think — a bit like queuing — it’s …

Although look — it’s 28th of the month and I’m only just posting once again. Oh. Must. Try. Harder. Although it’s been such a hectic month, I really should cut myself a little …
