It appears I have taken a mini-sabbatical from blogging during which I have holidayed in the sun, potty-trained a two-year-old, started to grow and dig and prune, learned phonics, tried my hand at screen printing and rediscovered the pleasure of a glass of wine. But I am now officially back.

I also have a new front door so watch this space for before and after photos (or you could just come round) and a hunt for suitably mid-century house numbers! Plus I’ll be decorating an entrance hallway, buying a ‘big bed’, asking if front gardens are all about front and hanging statement wallpaper in a tiny cloakroom. It would be my pleasure if you would join me.
