  • I normally picture areas of the country in particular colours. Do you know what I mean? . So Cornwall is all blues and whites while the North of Devon is a lush patchwork of green. In my mind’s eye this corner of Suffolk is bleached gold and creams, forever bathed in faded summer. . I may have to revise my thoughts. Because right now it seems to be mostly bathed in mud. Wet, brown, sticky mud. The spaniel minds not one bit of course. Well not until we get home and I wave the hose at him. . . . . #great_wide_somewhere #thisprettyengland
  • Since we got rid of our bedroom radio/speaker/cd (cd! Remember those), we’ve been relying on a neat little Alexa to wake us up to the sound of Radio 4. . She frequently fails. I fear darker forces may be at work here, it feels so personal 🤔 but the IT literate guy next to me assured me it’s more me than Alexa.. . Anyways, as the mornings get darker and I fail to wake up easily, I’m contemplating one of those daylight/birdsong clocks. So who has one and how do you like it? Also, someone please tell me the £30 ones are as good as the £200 one ☺️ . . . #myquietbeauty #poetryofsimplethings #seasonspoetry #beautyofstillmoments
  • Confession - I eat the very same thing for breakfast everyday for weeks (probably months 🙈) at a time. After a summer of yoghurt and muesli it seems porridge season has arrived. . In my defence, I’m much more adventurous with my other meals, indeed my family might say too adventurous by half. . . . . . #slowandsimpledays #simpleandstill #ofsimplethings #inasoftlight
  • When I build my ark, and it’s entirely possible I may need one given how very soggy this corner of Suffolk is of late, I’m definitely taking these 2 Dahlias. . I’ve no idea what variety they are because the spaniel thought I wouldn’t need the label and kindly removed it and chewed it into tiny pieces for good measure. However they have been thriving most splendidly on my negligence. This year I treated them even worse than last and yet still they keep giving 💕 . . . . #awhisperedbeauty #inasoftlight #mybeautifulsimplicity #lostinthelightclass #everydayelegance
  • I’m not really sure why I’ve been posting less lately but time spent on IG was replaced by an online word game. Which frankly seems no better use of my time 😂🤷‍♀️ . So I think I’ll return to scrolling here instead. . . . #inspiredbypetals_ l#thebotanicalseries #inspiredbyflowers #justbefloral
