So who stole the sunshine? A grey and rainy day, brightened up by writing my post on four fabulously floral IG feeds, and by this single peony which had somehow come adrift and found it's way inside.

Playing in the garden today, tidying, mowing, and pruning. Just a little more planting in the front garden to do, but it's now looking slightly more respectable. The back garden will continue to be a haven of wild flowers and dandelions, a perfect home fo

My reading list for May is one I'm looking forward to. I don't buy too many magazines any more, so May's @simplethingsmag is a bit of a treat. I'm just coming to the end of my fifth @officialagathachristie The Secret of Chimneys, then A History of Lonelin

The Queen's favourite cake is a chocolate biscuit cake, so what better cake to make for today's Best of British @clandestinecakeclub and I couldn't resist making it a little more British with a very chocolatey Union Jack, all dusted with a little regal go

This beautiful yarn arrived this week. Just so soft and so pretty and almost too lovely to knit with. Almost, but not quite. Just need to decide on the perfect project for it.

An alliterative breakfast of banana and blueberries. And I'm not sure I could have squeezed any more blueberries in that bowl even if I'd have tried.

Comfort food & comfort reading pretty much sums up my day. Old school rice pudding brought up to date with brown rice and coconut milk. Was enjoyed along with a good few chapters of my first book of May, Raffaella Barker's From a Distance.

Today has felt a little unproductive. A lovely slow start to the day, thinking about new knitting projects over breakfast, followed by a day of knitting, unravelling, knitting and a little more unravelling, before putting it to one side. Hoping a good nig

Just a little more trimming and preening and this cosy lap blanket will be ready to find a new home. I just can't quite decide if pompom's or tassels would look lovelier on each corner? Which would you choose?
