Im back after a year long break from this blog!  Lots has happened and Im geared up to get going again - more about my bees, garden, and blogging later, but in the meantime I came across Tasarim Takarim who custom makes jewellery replicas of your child’s drawings - love!
Find them here
My second in a series of guest blog posts on the Sarah Raven site is now up!
You can also read my first one here. :)
A little art for you this sunny Thursday.  Constable’s ‘Seascape study with rain cloud’ painted in 1827! (as seen on the Saatchi feed).
I’m writing my next blog post for the Sarah Raven site and looking forward to sharing it next week :)
Happy Saturday!
If you’re looking for something lovely to do this weekend then I highly recommend heading down to London Wonderground - tickets are selling up fast!
I’ve been every year since it started (!) and have had a great night each time.Â
We went to the Opening Gala a few weeks ago - all the acts were amazing (so funny and talented!) - but the hosts for the evening Miss Behave and Hilary totally stole the show... :) Â It looks set to be another corker!
Have a lovely weekend XOX
I love Jamie Oliver and the work he’s doing to educate us and more importantly our children, about food.  This is his entertaining and informative TED talk.
It’s not just about obesity, its about gaining a true understanding of what the food we eat does to our bodies, and learning about where it came from.
If you haven’t already signed his petition for Food Revolution Day then take a look at his video.
Do it.
As you know I’m a fan of the locally produced or handmade - true artisans and small businesses rock!
Next week is London Craft Week and there will be all kinds of crafy goodness to buy and be inspired by. Â
Cockpit Arts and Craft Central are both close to my heart as I used to live right next to Craft Central’s studios in St John’s Square and would regularly attend their Made in Clerkenwell events. Â
Open Studios are always worth a visit whether you’re on the look out for a special gift, or happy to wander through and be in awe at the talent and craftsmanship you see :)
Enjoy!
The Great Brisith Beecount is back this May! Â
Did you know we have 250 different species of Bee in the UK? Â In a bid to help track the population of Bees around the country, Friends of the Earth, Buglife and Waitrose have collaborated to help organise this annual event - it is now in its second year.
You can record the bees you see via a smartphone app, and download any photos you manage to take too, tracking which species live where. The results should be fascinating..
Download the app here. :)
A few of my favourite things from another of my favourite stores.
All the Summer essentials - lace, embroidery, denim, fringing and mini and maxi lengths - find them all at Zara :)
Happy Friday!
I’ve been busy making up frames, and setting up my Omlet Beehaus, which arrived late last week, and my Bees arrived last night.  They are currently quietly making themselves at home in my garden!Â
The other exciting news is that I’ll be a regular guest blogger on the Sarah Raven site, so you’ll be able to follow my progress in a little more depth there - new post coming up soon.
In the meantime you can ready my first blog post here, if you’d like :)
Here’s to Beekeeping!
I’m really looking forward to outdoor entertaining again this year - eating in the garden on a summer’s day is one of my favourite things :)
So may gorgeous bits and pieces to choose from to update your garden dining - here are a few from H&M Home for starters..
indigo dyed cushion cover, outdoor candle, glass carafe, linen tablecloth, pompom blanket, raffia napkin rings,Â
Thank you to everyone who entered my little giveaway.
The winner of the Sarah Raven Cosmos seed tin is Sarah Algar - congrats!

Happy Easter!
It’s one of my favourite holidays, and we are all looking forward to our Easter egg hunt in the garden this weekend..
Don’t forget to enter my Sarah Raven giveaway for a lovely Cosmos seed tin - just a few days left - thank you Sarah Raven!
I’ll announce a winner on Easter Monday.  Take a look at my guest blog post on their website if you’d like - I really enjoyed writing it  :)
Have a lovely bank holiday weekend X
I have got a lovely little giveaway this week from the lovely people at Sarah Raven. Â Spring is definitely in the air, April is apparently the busiest month for sowing seeds, and Sarah Raven has a great selection - a match made in heaven, no?
The winner will receive a tin of their Cosmos seed collection which has everything you’ll need to sow some delicate and colourful gorgeousness into your garden, big or small.
To enter simply subscribe to my blog by putting your email address into the subscribe bar on the top right-hand side and I’ll select a winner at random on Easter Monday.
Don’t they look gorgeous..?
I love art, I love street art, and I especially love art wanting to make a difference.
London street artist Louis Masai Michel is on a mission to raise awareness of the worldwide Bee decline.  As well as Bees  he’s also raising awareness for other declining British species like the Red Squirrel - take a look here to see among other things a video of him at The Secret Garden Party last year.
When you have Greenpeace, and Colossal writing articles about you, you know you’re doing a good job - keep up the great work Louis!
PS This recent Guardian article spreads more light on the subject, if you’d like to read.
The Anish Kapoor I came to love made very beautifully precise and often vividly coloured objects, and his new work is a step away from that and so intriguing because of it. Â
He’s showing at the Lisson Gallery now and you can see him talk about his work here.  I can’t wait to go and take a look!
I wouldn’t call myself a Gweneth Paltrow fan, but I saw this short interview with her about life changes in Vogue and it totally struck a chord.
I’m often asked by friends still living in the city what the challenges were for me to move out to the country.
If anyone is thinking about making a big life change like a move out of city life to the country I say ‘do it’! Â
Only Gweneth says it so much better :)
Just a few of my current favourite things from one of my favourite stores - the lovely Anthropologie! (when they opened on Guildford High Street last year I think I skipped all the way there).. ;)
Find them all here.
