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.

Instagram inspiration | So Soft Sunday
As I seem to be spending much of this summer in Scandinavia, I couldn’t resist giving a Scandi slant to this month’s Instagram inspiration post.

A midsummer stay in Oslo
I recently received a surprise email from my Sweden-based friend Becky, who was heading to Oslo for work and wanted to know if I fancied flying out to join her for a weekend.
