  • Since I was supposed to be in Denmark this weekend for @christinagreve’s flower styling & photography workshop (insert sigh 😔), I thought I’d commiserate that I couldn’t be there with a bit of #inspiration from #Denmark via the @decor.demon blog and photo by @jonas_lundberg_photography 🌿 This simple, understated and chic entry belongs to a transformed 18th century farmhouse in Odense, Denmark and I just love those beautiful white walls, gorgeous checkerboard floor, touch of greenery and of course, all the light emanating through those beautiful windows and front door! My kind of entry 👌🏼 Hopefully I can make the workshop later in the year Christina!! 🤞🏼 @christinagreve xx
  • I’m still coming down off a massive high from the #royalwedding - everything from magnificent Meghan, handsome Harry, the extraordinary inclusive and personal service, right down to the dress, the guests and of course all the exquisite flowers 😮. I mean, wow! And the fun of having my own little royal wedding party to celebrate it! These flowers above aren’t royal, but they were created by the very, very talented @wildflorastudio at the recent field to table floral workshop @jonimaflowers 🌸 More flowers at their beautiful farm than at the royal wedding, I can assure you! Did you all catch the wedding? Who stayed up too late or got up too early just to watch it? #countryliving #floralarrangement
  • I shared our messy house the other night on my stories (how it is most days) but this is how it looks when we have an open house! Unfortunately the joy lasts about 15 minutes and in fact, during the time it took for me to video this, a certain little munchkin was smooshing peanut butter down the side of the island bench. 😣 My fault for giving him a peanut butter sandwich so I can’t say I don’t deserve it! 🙄😆 It is a gorgeous Autumn day out there though, so that’s something! #home #southernhighlands
  • I’m so excited to share a little “teaser” of my collaboration with @potterybarnaus on our home office makeover! I really cannot wait to share more of this space and all the details. It feels so good to have a proper office again and one that is not only beautiful but functional, especially after working from the dining table for the past 12 months 🙄 Stay tuned for more! #collaboration #mypotterybarn #partner
  • Currently editing photos from my shoot with @wildflorastudio at the amazing @jonimaflowers farm and it’s still kind of blowing my mind! Rows and rows of exquisite blooms, like these beautiful chrysanthemums in the most vibrant yellow, magenta and brightest white. I truly cannot wait to share more from this shoot! #flowerfarm #lifestylephotography
  • A little homemade orange cake with the fam this afternoon for Mother’s Day. I made this deeeee-licious 🍊 cake from @createbakemake via @foodiful and it’s an absolute winner! Also, I can’t believe the difference in the weather in just one week?! Last Sunday I was out shooting @jonimaflowers on a very warm summer-like day and TODAY... 9 degrees, with the fire roaring and big pot of soup for dinner. Yup, autumn is well and truly here... 🍂 and I could not be happier! #home

Kitchen Garden – update

Given summer is technically over, I thought I'd share a bit of an update on our sweet little kitchen garden which we planted at the start of spring 2017. We've been having unseasonably warm weather of late so the garden is showing little signs of READ MORE

Christmas Pudding Ice Cream

Peach & Passionfruit Pav

There are few desserts I have mastered as well as a pavlova (if I do say so myself!), and this sweet and tangy pav is one of the tastiest I've ever eaten. Sugary, crisp meringue paired with tart, tangy passionfruit and fresh, juicy peaches. I mean, READ MORE
