I'm starting the week with a bit of interiors and travel inspiration courtesy of Runo - a new boutique hotel designed by Helsinki-based Joanna Laajisto. It recently opened its doors in the southern Finnish city of Porvoo, and it's a wonderful example of how historic spaces can be transformed without losing their soul or sense of place. Porvoo is known for its colourful wooden cottages and the . . .
A foggy winter walk around Woodchester Park in Gloucestershire
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you've had a good start to 2022 so far.
