Storytelling and simple living

  • When the ice in your gin melts but you don't care because you're too busy drinking in the view. Holiday vibes from our adventure in Italy earlier this month. Are you lucky enough to be escaping this year? Where would you love to go?
  • "When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not." - Georgia O'Keeffe
  • Shhh. We've escaped somewhere pretty close to paradise ;)
  • "My tomb shall be in a spot where the north wind may scatter roses over it." - Omar Khayyám • When my Granny died, June's wild dog roses were opening in the hedgerows. I found a favourite book of hers, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyám, by Edward Fitzgerald. It's a very beautiful translation of poems originally written in Persian and attributed to Omar Khayyám (1048–1131), a Persian poet, mathematician and astronomer.
  • We foraged a few creamy elderflower heads, just a little from each plant to ensure enough berries in the autumn. We made sweet, cold cordial and drank it in the hot summer breeze.
