  • So I set up the camera and told @aginthing_ he just needed to point and shoot. When I looked at the pictures, of course I despaired. . How could he not notice my chin in that one, my slouch in another, my belly, my fat arms (didn’t even think I had fat arms but he caught them just so)? . I felt irked by his inability to take a nice picture of me. . And then it occurred to me that maybe he really does think I look lovely to him no matter the slouch/chins/arms. . And I’m very grateful for that. . . . #discoversuffolk #argerfen #slowlifediary #great_wide_somewhere
  • Do you have magical places? Those places you visit, perhaps over and over. You take the same pictures, stand in the same spots. You feel your shoulders relax and your head fill with calm. . Snape Maltings never fails to make me feel this way. Gazing down the river, listening to the strange muffled sounds of the reed beds. Peering around and through the sturdy sculptures. It’s entirely magical. . Tell me about your magical places. . #thatvelvetfeeling #thelightwesee #capturequiet
  • The opportunist. I normally keep my bedroom door firmly closed during the day. Occasionally I forget. . Monty isn’t quite getting the hang of the ‘no dogs on furniture’ rule. . . . . . . #wholeheartedliving #cornersofmyhome #thislittlemoment_
  • Confession - I’ve never cooked a single recipe from that well worn copy of Mrs Beeton. . I like to keep it handy though, I find it reassuring to that should I need to hold interviews for household staff, cater for all manner of invalid or simply ensure I get the best out of tripe - it’s all right there in one complete and wonderful tome. . . . . . . . #aconsideredhome #petalsandpottery #flowersandbooks
  • I will never, ever be a person who discards a bloom the moment it fades. . For there is beauty in the fading. Don’t you think? . Plus it’s a great excuse to use the hashtag #elegantlyknackered . Actually that would be rather fitting for myself right now 😊
