A few weeks ago Chris and I spent a night at swish Somerset B&B Swain House - a handy stopover on a weekend-long, West-Country-wide hunt for our perfect wedding venue. It sits in the small harbour town of Watchet, sandwiched between the Exmoor hills and the Bristol Channel, and from the outside it looks like any other Georgian house lining the High Street. But inside it's a different matter: . . .
Practical tips for an Icelandic road trip
Following our recent adventures in Iceland, I thought it would be useful to share some advice for anyone thinking about planning a similar trip. So, here are some tips that we picked up during our travels... . . .
Iceland | Exploring Reykjavik
After an incredible week of glaciers, snowstorms and icebergs (plus a surprise proposal!), our time in Iceland ended with a couple of days in Reykjavik.

It’s tiny – around half the size of Bristol – and feels a little like a frontier town thanks to . . .
Iceland | A beautiful Reykjavik apartment
I’ve spent the past couple of evenings looking through the last of the thousands (yes, thousands!) of photos that I took in Iceland and reminiscing about Reykjavik, the final leg of our trip.

Iceland | Ion Hotel & the Golden Circle
From the Blue Lagoon, we headed east along empty roads towards the mountainous interior. We soon learned that driving anywhere in Iceland was going to take us much longer than expected – partly because of the snowy conditions (I’m very glad we hired a 4x4), and partly because we ended up stopping every few minutes to marvel at yet another amazing view. Eventually, we descended into a wide . . .

![[AD] A throwback to one of my all-time favourite collaborations, when I got to test out @carlhansenandson's gorgeous 'AH' outdoor furniture collection in my own garden. And the weather is warm enough to sit and dine outside again this week - always a treat this early in the year!
