Time to do another post sharing a little bit about Time to do another post sharing a little bit about myself, as a lot has changed since the last one - not least a house move and a new renovation project! I'd love to know more about you, if you feel like sharing a fact or two in the comments below... #cottagerenovation #interiorsblogger #travelblogger #freelancewriter #softminimalstyle
A sink full of greenery for a photoshoot. Luckily A sink full of greenery for a photoshoot. Luckily it's survived the heat so far. My peonies and the now-molten candle in the (incredibly bright west-facing) window haven't! #shakerkitchen #neutralkitchendecor #neutralhomedecor #cottagerenovation #summerkitchen
One of our favourite things during our holiday in One of our favourite things during our holiday in North Wales the other week was sitting back and watching the ever-changing mountain view from our accommodation (Hinterland Cabin, booked through @uniquehomestays). Rolling clouds, hovering birds of prey, fiery sunsets... It was even beautiful in the pouring rain. We felt like we had our very own eyrie perched high above the world. #northwales #visiteryri #naturephotography #uktravelblogger #walestravel

I've always loved Wishbones but we didn't have space for them around the table in our previous home - the house as a whole was bigger but the dining room was actually narrower. I'm so happy to have them here, and I know we'll be happily using them for decades to come. I really do think this is one of the most beautiful, timeless chairs ever created, and it's perfect for our rustic-minimalist cottage renovation. #scandinaviandesign #neutralhomedecor #simpleinterior #rusticminimalism #cottagerenovation

Green-velvet mountains, rolling mists, lakes and waterfalls, coastal pine forests, sand dunes, red squirrels, crumbling castles, lighthouses, sheep everywhere, restorative hikes, and a train journey into the clouds on @snowdonmountainrailway. #visiteryri #northwales #uktraveldeals #landscapephotography #travelblogger
