Today on 1st September marks the start of Autumn. Whooo! It's no secret that Autumn is one of my favourite months and this time last year, I wrote about 20 things that I love about Autumn. So this year I'm going to celebrate this day with a beautiful poem written by John Clare called 'Pleasant… Continue reading Hello Autumn!

Homemade Rhubarb & Ginger Jam
Jam with rhubarb and ginger, I mean, what's not to like? Unless you don't like either of these ingredients, in which case you'd better not read any further. However, it only take two changes to amend this recipe to make rhubarb and orange jam, which I'll include at the end.* I love jam but I… Continue reading Homemade Rhubarb & Ginger Jam
Chickpea Curry
I know it's a wet, grey and day, but I'm absolutely loving it. Unfortunately the Handsome One had to work today, so I've had the most incredibly lazy Sunday with Bella. As you can see, she's not really enjoyed it... Seeing as the temperature has dropped, I don't really fancy anything cold like salad but… Continue reading Chickpea Curry
Five things Friday
Hello Friday, you gorgeous thing you. Although, how on earth is The sun is shining and once I've finished work I can look forward to a nice long lie-in tomorrow and spend some time in the garden with Bella and the handsome one. I'm not sure that I even need to say this, but… Continue reading Five things Friday
Our brilliant trip to London – Part One

I chanced missing our train so I could run into MacDonalds and get some chips. Yes, I'm that person. We arrived early Saturday afternoon and got the… Continue reading Our brilliant trip to London – Part One

I just love wearing dresses. Yes me, and just because I spend most of my time in the garden or (trying to help with) renovating it doesn't mean I don't love a swing dress. There's something about wearing a dress that makes me feel feminine and with the abundance of sun that we've had recently,… Continue reading Summer Dresses Wishlist

It's Friday, it's a bank holiday weekend and it's sunny - how could you want for anything more? I've been signed off work this week due to having a viral infection and laryngitis, which has really knocked me about but I finally feel like myself again and by feel like myself, I think a glass… Continue reading 5 things Friday
Spring, where did you go?
As I sit here with laryngitis, feeling rather sorry for myself, rain pouring down, I'm wishing for sunny spring to reappear to make me feel better. And not only that, the sun will give everything in the greenhouse a boost! It was only a couple of weeks ago that I was sat outside, exposing my… Continue reading Spring, where did you go?
The Perfect Start to Winter
I'm sure you may be sick of seeing and hearing about the snow, but I cannot get enough of it! Funnily enough, I'm actually writing this post as I sit on train and try to thaw my frozen toes as the water has got through my very impractical boots. However, I still love it. There's… Continue reading The Perfect Start to Winter

I've got a long weekend to look forward to at the end of the month, which will set me up for the best month of the year; December! However, that's still three weeks away and… Continue reading 5 things Friday
