I've been approached on numerous occasions over the years to have my home featured in an interior home magazine but never felt it was up to the scrutiny of those beautiful glossy pages full of immaculate homes and stylish interiors.

Blogging has bought me many wonderful experiences, trips and treats but this is the first photo shoot for a national newspaper article !
Creative Family Home by Ashlyn Gibson
22 Oct 2013
I was recently sent a copy of Creative Family Home by Ashlyn Gibson to review. I am always on the lookout for beautiful books on home decor and style and I can tell you this book does not disappoint.
A bold, bright book crammed full of ideas on home, style and decorating when your home includes children ! The book " explores the heart and soul of twelve specially photographed homes " celebrates the magic of childhood and whether you have just started a family or have a tribe of pre-teens this book has it covered.
The books covers Creative family style, ideas for using space imaginatively, Print and pattern, Storage and organisation, homework and creative zones and brilliant ways to showcase treasured artworks and prized collections.
Ashlyn visits twelve real life homes all of which are wonderful and inspirational and NOT like they just came out of the pages of glossy magazines. We all know that kind of living is unsustainable. The homes featured in this book are imaginative, quirky, bright and interesting.
Perfect for the way modern families live today. I love the way all the families have combined new, old, recycled, crafts, homemade and included the children's work throughout. Real imagination without costing the earth. Homes that are beautiful and say so much about the occupants, such a refreshing change from the flat pack mentality that invades many homes these days.

A different perspective on St Paul's.
I took this last month whilst on a short break in London. For a photograph taken on a phone I think it turned out well.

I miss my flowers
27 Apr 2011
One of the things I miss most around my home is all the flowers I used to buy when we were "living the dream" . After the bubble burst one of the first things I had to give up was the extravagance of buying flowers. I was spending about £50 a month on them, obviously when times are tough this was first to go, along with trips to the hairdresser, new clothes etc.
Since moving to this house with its established garden I wait for this beautiful Weigela to flower and my goodness it never disappoints me. It only stays around for a short while so I make the very most of its beautiful blooms.
