  • It’s finally Prom day. My daughter has a busy schedule of hair and makeup and I can already feel the electric buzz of excitement in the air. . And it somehow feels like one of those punctuations in time. Those moments when the clock of our lives moves on a notch. A marking of time. Another milestone of a sort. Bittersweet I guess. . . . #everydayelegance #awhisperedbeauty #simplicityinstilllife
  • Daisy days. The Suffolk landscape is awash with daisies (and rain 🙄) . Does anyone else carry the vague idea in their head that flowers have personalities? I’m pretty sure daisies have a sunny personality, all gathered together on the verge, chattering and laughing together. Smiling at everyone who passes by. . Alliums are solemn and solitary, in case you wondered, and peonies are a little vain and read a lot of Mills and Boon. . . . . #pocketsofslow #natureandnourish #mycountrysidetonic #heitersummer #awhisperedbeauty #seeingthepretty #wildforflowers #slowsimpleseasonal #mybloominglens #ordinarymagic #ofsimplethings #poetryofsimplethings #flowersgivemepower
  • I planted another hydrangea this year. That’s two in big pots and one in the ground. I fully intend to plant more. . I think this means I am officially ancient. I expect lace net curtains and faux Victorian gas lamps are but a heartbeat away. . . . #simplicityinstilllife #mybloominglens #booksandflowers #booksandblooms
  • Well it’s all very green out there. . Over the last few days it finally stopped raining long enough for me take my hood down and survey my surroundings. . It’s quite the green and pleasant land, and most lovely. Now if you don’t mind, I’d like to return to the sun faded, hazy Suffolk landscape I expect at this time of year. Chop chop. . . . #awhisperedbeauty #aprettyishkindof_wilderness #thewildernesstonic
  • My mother would have hated the weather this week, she had a huge fear of thunder which really was about so much more than just thunder. On a thundery day she would close the curtains and make us sit in the dark. . As time went on she could go days without ever opening the curtains. . I hated being made to sit in a dark room and it left me seeking out light wherever I go. In fact some of my rooms have no curtains at all 😊 . I’ve written a bit more about it over in the blog and I’d love you to read it if so inclined. I promise it’s not long 😊.
