It’s no secret that I love Bristol, the place which I’ve called home ever since moving here to start university in 2001. It’s a city like no other – edgy yet elegant, cosmopolitan yet laid-back, forward-thinking yet firmly rooted in its past, and with a creative, independent streak that has spawned everything from Brunel’s industrial icons to Banksy’s street art. Call me biased, but for me it’s . . .
Home tour | A dash of bohemia in Copenhagen
I want to kick off the week (a little belatedly, due to the UK Bank Holiday yesterday) by sharing some photos of a beautiful Copenhagen apartment which I stumbled across on Danish website Bo Bedre.

The just-launched items include five sofas and the intriguingly named ‘Shortbread' bed, plus more than 20 additional fabric choices in soft, powdery pastels – . . .
Outdoor living inspiration
I have gardens on my mind this week (well, there was a brief glimmer of summer before the rain returned...). More specifically, I’ve been thinking about outdoor dining and lounging, and the idea of creating a ‘room’ outside.
