Three Things February

1) Pretty snow (but not enough to be a pain)

2) Skype from my Brother

3) Leading to me working out how to use Google Calendar.

New Art Feature!



An exciting first for my blog!


This week's watercolour is a 'guest picture' courtesy of my Mum's partner.


Many thanks for this lovely illustration of a fennel bulb.

Regency Home



Thanks to my Mum sending me some photos of my recent London trip, I can now provide the long awaited (well, by me anyway) picture of the dream house. This regency town house is situated on Kew Green, bang outside the gates of Kew Gardens, looking over the Green. It is flanked by more gorgeous homes, the Herbarium and a lovely pub and backs onto the river. Surely this is one of the nicest houses in London.

Champneys Mediterranean Spa bubble bath smells really nice and comes in a lovely turquoise bottle.
