[AD - PR product] I had the Audo Copenhagen 'Rever [AD - PR product] I had the Audo Copenhagen 'Reverse' table lamp in mind for our dining room before we even moved into the cottage. It came from @hollowaysofludlow, who have a fantastic selection of lighting, and I love the contrast between its sleek shape and our antique sideboard. The brushed metal shade ties in beautifully with the bronze fixtures and fittings that we're using throughout the house, and the travertine base echoes the colour of the Bath stone of the exterior walls. It's the kind of considered, timeless design that I'm always drawn to.

I'd never visited it before, even though I drive past regularly, and the gardens and views are absolutely beautiful. Definitely one to return to for a proper look around.

I'm hoping to share our finished living room soon I'm hoping to share our finished living room soon but it's too hot to photograph - I don't want to move more than a couple of metres from the fan! So here's a sneak peek snapped a few weeks ago - needless to say we haven't yet tried out the bioethanol stove!

Snippets from the first few days of yet another he Snippets from the first few days of yet another heatwave... Late-evening walks around our little town once it's cooled off enough to actually go outside, Loki falling asleep in front of the fan with his mouth hanging open, and a visit to the beautiful @walledgardenatmells in Somerset. 

And if they see this, hi to the couple I got taking to while queueing at The Walled Garden. I didn't catch your names before the queue moved, but your kind words about my books made my day!

[AD - PR product] From one Loki photobomb (see my [AD - PR product] From one Loki photobomb (see my last post) to another... I love this view through the doorway from our dining room to the living room. And it perfectly frames the 'Ecru' throw, designed by @ceciliemanz for @elvangdenmark, that I've draped over our CH25 chair. The subtle stripe detailing along the edges is gorgeous, and it's made from super-soft baby alpaca wool.
