Good morning! Make yourself a cup of something hot and take 20 minutes of quiet for yourself. Firstly, has anyone been soundtracking their life with Self Esteem lately? What an absolute banger of a Glasto set she gave in the summer. My pick of the festival for sure. Not that I went. I enjoyed itContinue reading “The Independent Christmas Gift Guide”

Gift Guide: Coffee Table Books
To me, the art of the common coffee table book is to be picked up and put down for any given length of time or any number of repeat visits, and be able to satisfy the mind without being too taxing. Interesting enough to open but carefree enough to put down when the coffee runsContinue reading “Gift Guide: Coffee Table Books”
Alfresco Dining: Serving Platters of Joy
Well hello you. It’s been a hot minute hasn’t it. So much has happened since we last spoke. I’ve gained a baby. I’ve lost a dog. I’ve gained a few more wrinkles.

Gifts for the Homebody
Zoom calls are dwindling, WhatsApp chats are no longer pinging all night long. We’re literally running out of things to say to one another. It’s not that I feel anti-social. I just want it (lockdown) to end. Which brings me to admit, I don’t really have anything to report this week. Its been a prettyContinue reading “Gifts for the Homebody”

I can’t quite believe that it marks almost 1 year since Covid-19 came along & turned our world upside down. Literally.

Even on a good year January is always a difficult month. She is the whore of the calendar (sorry to those with birthdays in Jan. Sorry Kirstie). Bank accounts are struggling, livers are strained thanks to Christmas, thanks to an obscene amount of Gavi. The weather is generally shite, it’s wet and windy and prettyContinue reading “Gift Guide: The Adventurer”
