All Change, Please

Oh dear. What with Sunday’s ‘Why blog?‘ post, it’s getting a bit wordy over here. There’ll be more pictures of clothes and food soon, promise. I just wanted to share a link that I discovered through lovely Lorna on Facebook. It’s a link to an article on Gala Darling’s blog, called In Praise Of Calling [...]

Why Blog?

Or: ‘The one where Angharad breaks all blogging rules and rambles on for over 1000 words’ Yesterday I followed with interest the tweets of those attending the Cybher 2012 blogger event. The event, which was attended by female bloggers and saw a variety of big names speaking, sparked a fair bit of online debate on [...]

Spring At The Botanic Garden, Oxford

On Saturday, we went to the wedding of our friends Abi and Pete. I’ve known Abi for a good 13 years or so now, and Pete for at least 7 – so it was really wonderful to be able to share in their day and see them both so incredibly happy. Congratulations to Mr Orr [...]

I Adore…

1) These fun vintage style decanter labels. Don’t have a decanter? I think they’d look just as cute jazzing up the gin bottle itself. 2) Flapjacks. Paul cooked up a tray of them last night, and they’re fabulous. Bring back the flapjack, I say – we don’t give this tasty cake nearly enough attention. 3) [...]

This weekend, Paul and I were lucky enough to escape the hustle and bustle of London and spend some time enjoying a much slower pace of life in rural Essex. On Saturday, we headed over to the small village where my uncle lives to get stuck in to some good pub grub, brisk walks and [...]

I Adore…

  1) Rachel Khoo. Yes, I, like everyone else, have succumbed to the quirky charm of The Little Paris Kitchen. This is partly due to the food, and partly due to Rachel Khoo herself, who, as this article from Everything is Cool puts it, ‘is about to take over France with her face’. Oh Nigella, [...]

Folksy Fun 34

I first wrote about designer and crafter Kate Broughton way back in 2009, in my first ever Folksy Fun post. Now here I am, 33 Folksy posts later, and I still want to rave about Kate’s products as much as I did three years ago. When I first wrote about Kate, she specialised in felt [...]

High Jinks At Go Ape, Wendover

That’s me. ME. Walking along a wire strung between two pine trees (admittedly attached by a safety harness. But still.) This may not seem amazing to everyone, but most of my friends and family will appreciate that this is a fairly uncharacteristic pose for me. I’m usually much more likely to be found with my [...]

I Adore…

1) Pinks Boutique grapefruit and ginger candle. The wax of this gorgeous scented candle is made from soya and contains essential oils, making it perfect for use as a body moisturiser. 2) The Mighty Boosh. Oh Noel. I can’t decide whether I want to be you or be with you. 3) My colourful new rug [...]
