As I may have already mentioned a couple of times, Chris and I recently got married and then headed off for a quick minimoon in the pretty Cornish village of Mousehole. I’ll put together some tips for exploring this beautiful corner of Cornwall soon, but first I want to share a peek at Chapel House Penzance, a stylish six-bedroom B&B where we spent the first night of our break before checking . . .
Recipe | Spring orzotto
When the latest recipe from Kym Grimshaw of Bristol-based food blog On The Plate popped into my inbox, I was instantly intrigued. I'd never heard of orzotto before, but I'm a big fan of both risotto and orzo pasta, so this fusion of the two is right up my street. After a little research, I discovered that Italian orzotto is traditionally made from pearl barley, but orzo - small pasta shaped . . .
Home tour | A loft-like Helsinki apartment
I’ve just got back from a wonderful week away – our wedding in Devon, followed by a quick mini-moon in Cornwall. More on that to follow, but in the meantime what better way to get back into the blogging groove than a tour around a gorgeous Nordic home? Located in the hip Kallio district of Helsinki, this small but striking apartment was created by interior designer Laura Seppänen for Finnish . . .

[This is a paid partnership with Amara, but all words and opinions are my own] I'm a big fan of online retailer Amara, which stocks a wonderful selection of furniture and home accessories from some of the world's leading designers.

Recipe | Wild garlic frittata
There are swathes of wild garlic all over the place at the moment, and it's one of my favourite seasonal ingredients. It used to line the country lanes around my parents' house in Derbyshire, and the heady, garlicky scent always takes me straight back to childhood springs. Even though wild garlic smells incredibly pungent, it has a much more delicate flavour than the conventional stuff, and you . . .

Alfresco summer dining with The White Company
[This is a paid partnership with The White Company, but all words and opinions are my own] During the colder months, I often feel like I’m living life at a million miles an hour – racing from one weekend to the next, with the days in between rushing past in a blur of deadlines, meetings and paperwork. But as summer approaches and the weather warms up, I always make an effort to slow down . . .
Home tour | A texture-filled Gothenburg apartment
I hope you all enjoyed a long, lazy Easter weekend?

And a peek inside this beautiful apartment in the Swedish city of Gothenburg seemed like the perfect way to kick off! What immediately . . .
Design for wellbeing
For me, interior design isn’t just about the way a room looks, but about the way it makes you feel. It makes sense when you think about it: with ever-more stressful lifestyles, a turbulent political climate and technology that means it's harder and harder to switch off, our homes tend to act as sanctuaries where we can relax and recuperate.
