One of the things I love most about living in Bristol is that I get to soak up all the big-city buzz, yet I can zip out to the countryside in minutes. The Somerset Levels, the Cotswolds and the Mendip Hills are all nearby, but perhaps my favourite spot of all is Clevedon Pier, just a short drive away on the coast. It was here that we headed last Sunday for a breath of autumnal sea air, and I . . .
Instagram Inspiration | Emilie Van Camp
This month’s Instagram inspiration comes from UK-based Belgian photographer Emilie Van Camp (@emilievancamp), whose images are beautifully striking in their simplicity. I’ve been following her feed for a while now, and I love her clean, calm aesthetic and the way she combines travel adventures with evocative little snippets of daily life – everything from an umbrella resting by a doorway to . . .
Review | Aromatherapy Associates ‘Deep Relax’ bath oil

But if you wake up tomorrow and realise you’ve got me mixed up with someone else who’s actually talented and inspirational, then I totally understand.” Her self-effacing and humorous words made me chuckle, but . . .
Urban Jungle Bloggers | Plants & Art
Urban Jungle Bloggers is back from its summer break and this month’s theme, ‘plants and art’, is a particularly interesting one. The challenge set by hosts Igor (of Happy Interior Blog) and Judith (of JOELIX.com) was to show beautiful combinations of paintings, sculptures, prints and greenery, but I couldn’t resist interpreting it in a slightly different way and using my favourite plants to create . . .
