Around Rue des Vinaigriers
Paris really was incredible. I’ve stayed in Paris a few times. The first time I went I was, well, there’s no better way to put it than I was like a dog hanging its head out the car window panting with excitement. That was me, age 16. We’d driven from Cologne overnight. And we eat…

Farrow and Ball feature walls
If you’re like me and not much of a pattern person a great idea is to paint one wall in a room a bold feature colour and the rest of the room in a lighter shade. If you liked the Menerbes house you’ll definitely be happy enveloped by simple and striking painted walls. My favourite…

Meet Artemis
It’s a funny little story this. I bought a fairly cheap bike online but then thought it was the wrong size so cancelled it all and got a refund. Kevin suggested I find a bike shop nearby as there’s bound to be one in Shoreditch, right? So off down to Spitalfields in search of Cycle…

A delicious weekend
This weekend I made hot chocolate each morning for myself and the girls. Saturday Edith made big tall towers of the old kitchen containers while I cleaned and filled the beautiful new Le Parfait jars to take pride of place in the pantry. In the afternoon we went to fabulous Lakeland out by Brent Cross…

Late night baking
The other night after we got back home from the Zoe and Morgan jewellery preview for next Spring and Summer I discovered we had about four 2kg bags of Riverford apples in the fridge. And some pastry that needed using up. So at 10.30pm it was time to bake an apple pie. I based the…

Bread glorious breadmaker
Spelt flour bread For the past few years every time we go up to Leeds to visit the family we wake up to gorgeous freshly baked bread machine bread. And finally the other week when I saw the new Panasonic breadmaker was out I caved in and bought one too.

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…
