Lamb and mint is one of those perennially popular food pairings that make most people's mouths water, mine included. For her latest seasonal recipe post, Kym Grimshaw from fantastic food blog On the Plate has given this classic spring combination a Moroccan twist by adding apricots and a bit of spice to regular lamb burgers, and serving them up with hummus and chilli jam. The burgers are easy . . .
Wedding mood board | Relaxed elegance
In the last of my wedding mood boards (you can view the others here), I want to focus on a look which I think would be perfect for a country house setting – perhaps the beautiful Cornish estate of Boconnoc (we had a look around and it really is stunning), or Dewsall Court in Herefordshire.

Home tour | A rustic Greek villa with a contemporary edge
For my latest home-tour post I’m heading to sunnier climes; specifically, to the beautiful Greek island of Ithaca and the equally beautiful Villa Kalos.

When they first purchased the building . . .
