Spotted – Gorgeous Yellow Adjustable Desk Lamp for £16!
It probably hasn’t escape regular readers attention that I have a bit of a ‘thing’ for an Anglepoise lamp. So much so that one of my genuinely most treasured possessions is ‘Arthur’; my original 1920s Herbert Terry Anglepoise lamp which my lovely husband bought me for my 40th birthday. I love him, and always thank him politely when he turns on (Arthur that is, not the husband. Don’t be smutty.)....

I mean, don’t get me wrong, they’re adorable creatures – funny, smart, opinionated, interesting, purveyors of marvellous new music, sources of most excellent YouTube funnies, genuinely brilliant company, … but also as predictable as a cat in a force ten gale...
Hotel near London Coliseum – English National Opera (ENO)? Try Holborn | Thistle Kingsley Review
This week I was oh-so-super excited to be headed into London for a new experience – I had my very first ‘night at the opera’ (and before you roll your eyes… 1) everyone should go at least once, and 2) the ENO runs this amazing Opera Undressed scheme specially for opera virgins and it’s bloody brilliant).

Master Bedroom Decorating Ideas in 2019
