Last week I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon hanging out with TV architect George Clarke (of Amazing Spaces and Restoration Man fame) and a lovely bunch of fellow bloggers over bubbly and nibbles. The occasion: the launch of a new plasterboard called the Lifestyle Wall from British Gypsum’s Rooms Made For You range. I know, plasterboard doesn’t sound that exciting, but the Lifestyle Wall . . .
Instagram Inspiration | That Cornish Bird
When I first contacted Sian, aka @thatcornishbird, to ask if I could feature her in this month’s Instagram post, I received the following response: “Gosh, I’m lost for words... really!
