Dressing for winter

Posted on February 2, 2013June 26, 2014 by jenny

I find this time of year really difficult to dress for. I look outside and see blue sky and think it’s Spring. But when I actually get outside it’s cold and windy. I end up either wearing too many layers or not enough! I invested in a lovely new coat at the end of last…

Europe’s Most Wanted

Posted on January 31, 2013 by jenny

Giveaway: baby names by Laura Emerson

Posted on January 28, 2013February 6, 2013 by jenny

Choosing the perfect child’s name was top of my list when I was pregnant. Despite having thought about it for years, when I was actually pregnant none of the names felt right. Not for the want of trying but the poor toddler was nameless for his first two weeks. We had a long list, then…
