Summer evenings are my favourite time to get out and explore. I prefer the cooler temperatures and the warm light makes everything look incredible. One evening this week we went for a sunny walk on Bodmin Moor to find the Cheesewring — sadly not a giant wheel of cheese but a

For my birthday last year, Scott's grandparents sent me some money to spend on plants for the garden. I knew exactly what to buy; a blue hydrangea! The giant flower heads were a mixture of pastel blues and white. But this year it has grown into a bit

Thursday crept up on me a bit quick this week. Yesterday afternoon I did a quick dash around the garden with my camera in an attempt to catch the last of the nice light before the sun disappeared behind the buildings. In August 2014 I collected sweet pea seeds from

June has been a mixed bag of a month for us. We've had our post wedding come-down, welcomed a baby girl into the family (not ours!), I've spent the last three weeks waiting for my cycling accident injuries to heal and then the EU referendum results

On Saturday morning I headed over to Mummy Barrow's (Tanya) house for a taster silver clay workshop run by the lovely Emma of Silverpebble. There were six of us all together including fellow nature buff Annie (Fable & Folk) and willow weaver Judith. By the end of the

You guys, the peony is opening! I repeat. The peony is opening!! The bud became so swollen the stem started to bend, so I intervened and tied it to a garden cane to stop it snapping. I'd be hacked off if it snapped, it's the only

It has occurred to me that I never finished spamming you with our Oslo adventures! The day after our epic walk from Frognesetern we decided to go easier on our bodies and take a boat tour around the Oslo Fjord. The fact that it was March and there was still
