After a visit to friends in Stockholm, our recent Swedish adventure continued with a few blissfully lazy days in the archipelago – a vast scatter of forested islands and rocky outcrops stretching from the city’s eastern flank out into the Baltic Sea. Our base was Hotel J, which sits on the shore in Nacka Strand, a 20-minute ferry ride from central Stockholm. Spread across a 19th-century . . .
Profile | CARO Somerset
I love popping down to the pretty Somerset town of Bruton, which has become something of a creative enclave in recent years.

A year of blogging
A year ago (well, a year and three days ago, to be exact), I pressed ‘publish’ on my very first blog post. It was a nerve-wracking moment: I’d long wanted to do something to weave together my various passions – design, travel, writing, photography – but sharing my personal view of the world on the big wide web was a daunting leap into the unknown. Twelve months on, I want to share some thoughts . . .
