Mummy’s little adventure
Hello Kids! Mummy here. Mummy is in Amsterdam now on her little trip away. This is my place. It’s really lovely. Just like being at home. I’ve got a whole one bedroom place to myself and really it is so like home it’s amazing. Apart from the super-steep stairs. It’s like climbing up a ladder…

A year for building
After the holidays I made a big spreadsheet of all my domains, sites I’m going to be building up – it really is a huge job, but if I just stick with it and tend each piece of the project like a plant – where each one is watered and tended to over a period…

Running with E.
For years now I have harboured a secret desire to run. I watch as runners go by, wishing I could be like them. Wishing there was a way I could do it. Then the other night I was visiting 101 Cookbooks links to her friends favourites cookbooks and there was Emi and I randomly clicked…

Astrid’s songs
Astrid has an amazing singing voice. Did you know that? I knew she liked singing but there has been a transformation. A great transformation. I was in the kitchen the other day and the most wonderful pure little song was being sung, perfect high notes, and such sweet melody. It was Astrid. And now that…

Little Mister Cat
Little Mister Cat went out yesterday morning and didn’t come home all day long. I thought, oh well he always comes home so I’ll just wait and let him come home and he’ll be in sometime in the middle of the night. But then I looked online about what to do if your cat is…

Beautiful clarity
Ah, the beautiful whiteness of home. So I can photograph again – something I have so been looking forward to and I can’t wait to get the house in order and begin to style everything and make it all cosy. It’s midnight already and I’ve not even begun to look on eBay tonight. Tomorrow we are…

Stories and pies and baking
I am saving up to buy The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Pastry Arts. But in the meantime I cheat with my breadmaker. And I cheat by buying non organic pre-made pastry from M&S. I don’t have the time to be a purist. Much as I’d like to be one. For now as an Art Director…

Summer
It almost midnight after a weekend of jumping in the car at five thirty on the dot and going away for Friday night. Back home Saturday late. A Sunday walk from Spitalfields up through Brick Lane to Columbia Road and at long long last to Rob Ryan’s shop with the most beautiful and covetable umbrellas…

More days like this
Somehow this morning seemed to organise itself. We arrived in true London fashion twenty minutes late, after making several phone calls from the car to Eireann, who was also running a bit late. Erin, Fatty, Jane and Kate were all there looking very fresh for people who not that long ago were sitting on a…

Adventures at home
The girls love the little path down the side of the house where they take their brooms and hide on the little porch where there are taps to play with. It’s a lovely gentle English summer, if not a touch chilly. Life is brilliant fun – mostly. Daddy even bought mummy a new red KitchenAid…

Magical England
Ah look. Here we are again. Back in civilisation. Back into the Garden of Eden. The magical English summer is upon us. Or perhaps we are upon it. The gentle sun. Pretty trees and hedgerows, wildflowers by the roadside, a sparkling river and friendly, helpful people, happy to talk about the glistening weather. Today we move…
