Hotel Chocolat’s Everything Luxe box
I came to understand as I grew into adulthood that chocolate really isn’t my thing. I’m never the one to choose a chocolate option in a restaurant, I can’t ever eat a whole bar in one sitting, and I rarely bake chocolate cake (unless it’s crammed with courgettes and we happen to have a glut of them…). But actually, it’s not that I don’t love chocolate. I really do. But what I love is not just...
I have fallen for a bike. It’s PRETTY.
I need a new bike. My current bike is a magnificent Muddy Fox which I inherited from my Brother in law – 20 years ago. It’s fabulous, and a classic, and an excellent bike which I have no right to replace, really… but it’s old, and past its best, and really Not Very Pretty.

If you love a bit of interiors design (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?), then Homify is likely to feel like all your Christmases come at once. It’s like someone took the whole contents of Pinterest, mixed them up with all the very best interiors blogs and magazines, scooped out all the inspiring pictures and ideas, then categorised them...
Bamboo Babygrow – most excellent baby pyjamas (*WARNING – CUTE baby alert)
The answer to baby pyjamas when the weather can’t make up its mind I don’t know about you but I’ve really struggled recently to know what to dress my baby in for bedtime. One minute it’s boiling hot, the next freezing cold. A vest on its own leaves her waking up chilly and grizzly an hour later but some of her regular babygros just make her hot and sweaty. What’s a mum to do? Step in Bubba Bambu and their range of hypo allergenic...
