Yesterday I popped into the Cath Kidston shop in Covent Garden. I’d spotted some goodies in the latest catalogue that I wanted, especially the tin of travel sweets – perfect for our long drive to Cornwall tomorrow. I also picked up laundry and shoe bags and a pillowcase featuring planes which I’m hoping to make…

Orla Kiely Punched Stem Rosemary Bag
My hubby treated me to a lovely new Orla Kiely bag so I chose the punched stem rosemary bag. Today I sneaked out of the house and headed to Covent Garden to buy it (and the matching purse too!). Image taken from Orla Kiely website. No visit to Covent Garden is complete without a visit…
The Gallery: Friendship
It didn’t take me long to choose a photograph for the theme of this weeks’ gallery. Today I scanned an old photograph album my mum gave me of my early years. I was getting a bit fed up of people saying how much Edward looks like his father so decided to look at some old…
Lovely Cath Kidston iphone cover
Look what was waiting for me when I returned from the Isle of Wight yesterday – my lovely new Cath Kidston iphone cover. It’s almost perfect, the only part I don’t like is that it’s branded with the Cath Kidston logo on the inside – thankfully it can’t be seen when it’s on!
The Gallery: Self Portrait

Home and away
We’ve returned home to London for a couple of days and are now back on the Isle of Wight as my husband has an appointment with his consultant tomorrow. Since we’ve been at home it has finally been just the two us as my husband has gone back to work and we’ve had a couple…
Dummy or not?
A couple of weeks ago I went to Mothercare to purchase a dummy clip. I know that people are divided on the issue of whether to give a child a dummy but we find it useful to help settle Edward at night. We are only planning on using it until Edward is 3 months old….
The Gallery: Week 11
The theme for The Gallery this week is: Men. Pictures of the men in your life. There are two men in my life, my lovely husband and brand new baby boy. In the short time since he was born (7 weeks!) I have managed to take more photographs of the baby than my husband during…
The Gallery: Week 10
It’s taken me a while to come up with a picture for this weeks’ The Gallery. I have spent ages looking through my albums. The theme was to paint a picture of the world we live in: The hidden bits, the bits you feel are special and people should know about. The bits people wouldn’t…
