It has been an epically wet, working week in Argyll.  The burst pipes of winter 2023 (not a typo sadly) ruined a bathroom and a bedroom and it has taken this long to get it all fixed, largely because the...

Bye Bye Pancake Day – Hello Mothering Sunday!  These celebrations seem to come thicker and faster than ever and we’re up to our ears in gift ideas for this one, which is only a couple of weeks away.  But if...

Well, blame this one on us.  Isobel’s great whinge has long been that we don’t get proper frost here in the bottom left hand corner of Lincolnshire.  Rain, broiling sun, but never really deep, snapping frost. So imagine how unsympathetic we...

Well, the day is almost here.  Tomorrow, dear Reader, is my birthday.  Not just any old birthday – a BIG one.  Huge.  Ends in a zero and starts with a 6, and if one more person tells me ‘it’s just...

We’re so excited – you love our cushion covers!  You spoke, and we listened, and so we’ve extended our range to include the gorgeous Lorne Stripe, Humby Fern and Appin.  Rather selfishly we’ve snaffled a handful to adorn our outdoor...
