Yes, this is a photo of me being dwarfed by an absolutely stunning installation by @saroj called ‘The Wings Flutter, Grasslands are Alive’. It’s a shrine to the plants and pollinators and is one of four installations created for a n

What an absolute treat to visit @charlestontrust today for the festival of literature, art and ideas. As well as soaking up the festival atmos, I loved looking round the house and studio that belonged to painters Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, such a

Time to do my favourite thing and share some lovely patterns on here. This especially glorious one is by printmaker and textile designer @sannaannukka and was created for @marimekko in 2008. It's called 'Kamtelwen kutsu' (the call of the kantele) and

Well this was a surprising find at my parents' house this evening. A ration book from 1953/4 that belonged to my dad. Intriguing too - my dad was still in Cyprus at this time (aged about 13) so I guess that means British administered rationing was in

Remembering these cool cats who would have been married for 59 years today. I hope they're in a cafe somewhere laughing, arguing and drinking cappuccinos.

A very special and decadent @lily_vanilli_cake afternoon tea @thelaneldn. So many delicious treats, all served on crockery covered in mythical creatures designed by @kitkempdesignthread and inspired by costume designs for ballets, pantomimes, comic o

Such a joy to walk round the rooms of @somersethouse today for @craftscouncil @collectartfair. It made my heart sing! Not just because I was surrounded by beautiful things, but also because I got to chat to so many wonderful people, many of whom I ha
