A few weeks ago Chris and I hopped over to Berlin to celebrate / commiserate his 40th birthday. I’ll post some of our city discoveries next week, but first I want to share a peek inside Linnen, the lovely B&B which became our home for a few days. In fact, ‘home’ is the perfect word to describe this place: it’s relaxed, stylish and oh-so comfortable. It occupies the first two floors of a . . .
Summer flower arrangements with Dartington Crystal
Last week I was lucky enough to be among a group of bloggers invited to a summer flower-arranging workshop hosted by British brand Dartington Crystal and Jo Wood of Bath-based florist Flowers by Passion.
