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
What are your favorite vegetables to grow? Radish are supposed to be the easiest veggie to grow. Which is harrowing when I have been trying and failing. Last year I ended up letting them all flower because they bolted and they get bitter. The conditions are great for salad at the moment. My lettuce is…

What topics do you like to discuss? No real surprise I love gardening and interiors. Next week the demolition begins on the garden. The builder is ordering machines. The soil will be collected and used in my allotment ( yay) and this weekend I will dig out all the flowers and bulbs I want to…

Rainham Hall National trust
Discovering beautiful places I have always thought that Rainham was a bit of a shit hole, apologies Rainham.

Beautiful buildings, independent shops little pubs…

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…

Gardening, planning and reading
How do you unwind after a demanding day? Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I don’t have the energy to garden, plan or read. Sometimes I just want to open a bottle of red and put something familiar on tv. But getting out into the garden completely distresses me. Pulling up a few weeds. Sowing some…

Social media addict- relapsed twice
How do you use social media? I gave it up almost two months ago. Goodbye TikTok, instagram and Facebook because I was spending hours on them. My motivation to do other things was limited so one day I was writing a blog, deciding whether to delete those apps or not and I just did it.…
