Lily of the Valley
Whilst visiting my aunt she gave me a little pot containing a cutting of lily of the valley from my great-grandmothers garden. She died in 1956 so I think it’s crazy that this plant is still around. It has come to me via Swindon and Worcester and I’m wondering how it is going to take…
Weekend in Worcestershire
Had a great weekend driving through beautiful country. We went and visited some relatives in Worcestershire and made a weekend of it by staying in a lovely hotel in the heart of the Malverns.

I also bought some lovely Japanese magazines…
Bought from a gallery in Crouch End
I’ve had a busy and expensive few days. On friday I spent lots of money on two new Orla Kiely handbags to add to my expanding collection. I bought my first leather bag, which is red, and I love it. Then yesterday we went to re-visit a beautiful print we saw in a shop window…
