Weekend plans…
Today is a big tea drinking day as I have a mountain of work to do. However, the weekend will be a coffee drinking one as I’m off to Paris tomorrow for a long weekend with my Mr. Yippee! We’ve kind of started a tradition where we forgo Christmas presents for one another and head…

Celebrate interiors – A country house in Norfolk
Just gorgeous non? I’m particularly inspired by the children’s room – I already own the Rob Ryan bunting and used to have it hanging in my classroom so hopefully I’ll get to use it again if we have our own children some day. I also like the bathroom but then anyone who has been to our home…

It also has plenty of ribbon and other accessories that you can use in home craft projects and I have to be honest and say that it was tricky not to walk out of there with…

Time for tea
This week I’ve been enjoying some very special birthday treats. We had breakfast in Fortnum and Masons at the start of the week before work and boy, is that a good way to brighten your Monday! I really recommend it if you ever have the opportunity to go. Yes, it’ll probably be the most expensive…

In need of a ‘pick me up’
It’s been quiet around here lately as unfortunately I’ve been ill. Not only do the darker evenings bring an opportunity to wrap up warm and snuggly in the evenings, they also bring opportunities to catch chest infections. And to lose your voice. This is terrible at any time but most especially when your job is to lecture…

Today I’m inspired by…Kent
I’m from Kent and proud to be so! Although I love living in London, I do often find myself missing fields and open green spaces. You can always rely on the folk at Country Homes and Interiors to provide you with a good fix of countryside inspired living though, and these images of a Kent…
