So, it is finally happening… We are off. This post should go up just as we take off from Heathrow! After faffing and vaccinating and packing and list writing we are off on our little adventure. I am just doing the very last bits, sending out the last emails, that sort of thing before I […]
Tarja got in touch last January about her up and coming wedding plans. We met up in a cafe in Brighton and went through the plans – drank lots of coffee, chatted it all through and looked at lots of pictures. Tarja’s background in fashion styling meant she had the ‘look’ in mind. Luckily we […]
Back in the day – post Art College and pre-houses, and children and responsibilities Andy and I spent a couple of years back-packing. We had a lot of time and hardly any money. We inched our way from Kenya to Zimbabwe, worked our way from Perth to Cairns, beach bummed our way round Thailand and took the […]
Last Saturday, on our way home from an enforced walk (of the kids and the dog), we stopped at The Sussex Produce, in the village for some bits (if you’ve not been in there, you need to go! They sell all sorts of lovely things – and Mum’s meringues!). January doesn’t only fill the world with […]

Come along and learn how to put together your very own, hand-tied wedding […]
When Alexa got in touch last Christmas to ask if we could help with her South of France wedding we were so excited. I had to keep remembering we would be going to work and not just waft about in lavender fields and drink coffee in pavement cafes. Though in reality we did squeeze in a bit […]

Last weekend, before our Christmas Wreath making course, lovely Jayne came along with me and the boys, foraging for ingredients, (the girls opted for warmth and friends instead and played at Kirstin’s). We are really lucky to have The Downs on our doorstep, and although I feel like a proper mother saying it, whenever you […]
So, after our first Wreath Workshop at beautiful Bignor on Saturday everything it really is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Here is a really easy recipe for Mincemeat so you can whip up some mince pies an at the drop of a hat, a la domestic goddess. You will need: 1lb grated Bramley Apples 1 […]
