The best start to the day...

A Parisien Time Capsule

I have just read this delightful blog about an apartment in Paris which was kept locked up for 70 years and recently discovered in it's completely undisturbed condition. It really is fascinating, a dusty glimpse into the past. Almost ghostly in it's antique entirety, it's a real treat to have such an insight into the past.

Bramble Farm

Our lovely friends Billy and Suz have taken on a role at a local city farm in Knowle. Bramble Farm produces delicious produce and houses rescue chickens, goats, rabbits, pigs and ducks and we were lucky enough to be invited along to the open day yesterday to have a little peek around. It is a wonderful place situated right at the top of a hill with far reaching views, it really feels like a wonderful escape from the bustling busyness of central Bristol. Can't wait to see how the crops come along!

Tim Walker Dreamscapes

Tim Walker is a fashion photographer who has worked for Vanity Fair and Vogue. His initial training as an English landscape artist really shines through in his photography for these great fashion institutions. The curator of the current exhibition of his work at The Bowes Museum, Greville Worthington said, 'His seductive images demand to be read as more than fashion'. I absolutely love his images, so whimsical and dreamy, they really do indulge escapism to a quirkier, more magical land and inspire me to think and 'do' more creatively.

Sunny Salcombe

Wow, what glorious sunshine and how amazingly lucky were we to have been enjoying it's warming delights whilst down by the coast in Devon. Chris and I are just back after a splendid few days in Salcombe, where we lay on the golden sands, soaking up the tingling rays, tentatively dunking our toes in the gently lapping, glistening waves, sipping yummy ales and devouring some beautiful seafood.
