When i was a little girl, my Mamgu (‘grandmother’ in Welsh) looked after me while my mum went to work. Her first language was Welsh so she taught me the odd phrase (including ‘shut the door’ because children are chiefly known for being born in barns).

OK, so it would seem I’ve discovered a new favourite colourful pastime (like I don’t have enough already): playing with @pantone postcards.

There’s a tiny vintage bag I bought in Peru and had framed, a mesmerising Welsh landscape by @paulwestart and a small but perfectly formed marine litter pic […]

Do you have a favourite room in your home? I love my Angie pink living room and, as a recent convert to Spiced Honey, my tan bedroom is now in my top three. But I think it’s still my bathroom that commands the number one spot. I chose these pink bistro tiles almost two years […]
