Aren’t we all a little lost?
What gives you direction in life? I am not sure I have any direction at the moment. I may be a tiny bit bored sometimes but in general I am content. I guess I am a little lost. Working in retail I always craved to work up into the creative section but now I work…

A stitch in time saves nine
Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often? Just do it- Nike changed it to. Because if you do it now, you save yourself work later. I also like the phrase by cheap by twice. Because it’s all true.

Outdoor living yes please, but bring the comforts!
Have you ever been camping? I have lots of fond memories of camping. In the New Forest being woken up by ponies, latitude festival with Gavin, a friends wedding and of course my own wedding. We glanced on our wedding night but unfortunately it was in September and although the day was perfectly warm the…

Not a morning person
When do you feel most productive? I am not not a morning person, but I am not a night owl either. I love the weekends because I can do things on my time. I am most productive ironically in the morning and when I have a deadline. This weekend I have woken at 7:30 both…

A miracle happened: my first edible radish

Discovering beautiful places I have always thought that Rainham was a bit of a shit hole, apologies Rainham. It’s surrounded by lots of flats and warehouses and generally appears a bit gray and soulless. I should have known that every ugly has a beauty and Rainham village is adorable. Beautiful buildings, independent shops little pubs…

Once upon a broken heart Falling in love
Describe a risk you took that you do not regret. Never regret love. You can regret how it ended. What you endured for far too long. The bad bits. But never regret falling in love. It’s magical. But new love and growing love is worth it. I let myself love again over heartbreak and it’s…

Putting my foot down on big house decisions
What would you do differently? The building work still hasn’t started. If I had had who I wanted and trusted we may be almost finished rather than haven’t started. It’s only a focus at the moment because our neighbour is started a renovation and will be finished before us. It’s a similar design and his…

Making design decisions makes me doubt myself
What makes you nervous? I am a planner not a doer. So I love to plan and design my home but now it’s coming to the part where I have to buy them I get nervous and doubt my decision. Today I need to order the tongue and groove panelling and the wallpaper. I have…
