Win a £210 Kauffmann Winter Special Down Single Duvet? Yes please #WinterISComing

It’s October now. HOW did that happen quite so fast? I swear, I just nipped down to make a pot of coffee, and when I came back to the office a whole month had slipped past. So when DownDuvet got in touch and asked if you might be keen to win a Kauffmann Winter Special duvet, I might have jumped up so hard I hit my head on the ceiling (Ow.) Because Winter IS Coming (thanks Jon – see, you DO know something), and there is...

The astonishingly lovely ‘Imaginary Fred’ from Eoin Colfer & Oliver Jeffers

Any conversation about children’s books is going to feature a couple of names at some point. Oliver Jeffers. One of the very best picture book authors/Illustrators in the whole widest world. We have a complete library, and my book-absorbing 8yr old STILL regularly revisits the astonishingly beautiful ‘Stuck’ and ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ on a regular basis. And Eoin Colfer – the man who gave the...

We understood they had to work out their own little pecking order, and that it would take a few days for them to shake down together. What I didn’t know was that chickens can be Mean Girls! The first day we watched them avidly, and personalities very quickly emerged (NB...

A Confession for You, TK MAXX… #GiveUpClothes

At the bottom of the cupboard in my wardrobe is a box. Inside that box is a pile of clothes. Not a big pile – just a neat, folded, carefully placed pile. A range of items – a basic wardrobe collection, in fact. Jeans, tops, a cardigan. All worn, but all looked after, and still with ‘plenty of wear in them’ as my Granny used to say. They are all maternity clothes. My youngest child is eight. There will be no more children. And yet,...

Gorgeous Autumn Boho Style for Tall Girls

Last week we were talking tall girl jeans – and how Long Tall Sally just gets it right. But the second outfit I tried is possibly my favourite ever-in-the-history-of-ever. Cords. Who doesn’t love a pair of winter cords? And when those cords are as soft as velvet, and in a deliciously beet red-purple colour? WIN. You slide into these Cord Bootcut Trousers from LTS, and feel like your legs are being hugged into groovy autumn...
