In 2010, Paul and I spent 7 weeks in NYC, and ever since, we’ve had a subscription to New York magazine. It’s such a great read, and is brilliant for keeping a person up-to-date on what’s up in fashion, theatre, movies, books, food, etc. The only thing is, a new issue arrives every. single. week. …

What’s next?
It’s Sunday evening, and the weekend’s been great, but still I must admit to feeling a bit worn out, and not quite ready for a new week. Unstructured time, away from the To Do list, has been pretty rare this year, and I think I’m not the only one who feels that 2013 has got …

Monkey & Ellie
I had a lucky day at Milnerton Market on Sunday, snagging this little teak monkey who cleaned up beautifully (he was HORRIBLY dressed in red and black lederhosen with fur on his head!), and the dear little ebony elephant too. PS: I’ve struck on the brilliant idea of selling some select vintage goods in my …

I suppose it’s been wintertime, and days have been short, but it feels like forever since I prowled around, snapping pics of our home. I did it today with my phone and Instagram, and although the pics really do look better on a phone, I quite like their mood.
