2020 “Resolutions” & Plans

This year has been… challenging, to say the least. SO! I’d really like to try to set myself up for even just a marginally better year in 2020

Trip to Italy

After 5 years, we finally got to visit Italy again. I think we were both in need of just getting away for a little while and this did the trick! Already can’t wait for our next trip back. We stayed in Harrys parents house, had the log burner on in the evenings, lay ins with

The First Little While in Our New Home

A New Place

We’re moving back to Suffolk next week (aaaahhh, still so much to pack)! Last weekend we went to visit our new house, in our new sleepy riverside town, to see how the renovations have been coming along. I’ve not even moved in and I’m in love with it – hope I’m not jinxing it by

How to Train Your Monstera: A Guide

Mildred has been part of the family (yes, she has a name) for a couple of years now.

The First Week

Our first week living in Hastings; Surrounded by boxes, eating vegan donuts, relaxing on the beach & working in the office. This week all that busyness has caught up with me, and I’m now sitting at home nursing a horrible cold, but through the flurry of balsam tissues, I’m still thrilled to be here.

A Warm Weekend Through My Phone

The weekend was warm, busy and a little intense we found a place to live in Hastings – the first place we saw! It has beautiful bay windows and original fireplaces, I’m now dreaming of decorating it with all of our things and cycling to work on the seafront. Zissou is going to love the

Early May

In the first few weeks of May I’ve snoozed on pebbled beaches, had days out with friends, exercised more, somehow managed to avoid getting sunburn, (or a tan for that matter) and Illustrating little things I wouldn’t normally for my new job (!!!) Its nice to be branching out and challenging myself
