Good evening to you. Just a quick post tonight to say hello and wish you a good week ahead. It’s been a restful weekend. I’ve enjoyed reading my new book, Hilary Mantel’s ‘Bring up the Bodies’ and am grateful that work life is beginning to slow down. I’ve got some exciting news to share on that…

House tour
I must confess that I love a good house tour! You can find out so much about a person’s interests, hobbies, even their values from the way they choose to design their home. My favourite type of house is a real family centred home. One that’s full of personal photographs and weekly schedules. Maybe that’s…
