Our recent stay at Bryncyn gave Chris and I the chance to explore an entirely new area of Wales: Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. Neither of us had ever ventured further west than Swansea before, and we spent three magical, sun-soaked days pottering around crumbling castles, tiny market towns and hidden bays. We were utterly enchanted by this beautiful corner of the country, and I don’t think . . .
‘Objects’ by Republic of Fritz Hansen
Another beautiful new product line has popped onto my radar – the ‘Objects’ home accessories collection by Republic of Fritz Hansen (perhaps the most famous of any Danish furniture manufacturer, and the company behind a raft of classic pieces).

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to attend a beginners’ workshop with talented London-based calligrapher Megan Riera (whose work I’ve admired ever since she collaborated on a series of . . .
Swain House | Somerset
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.
