Beautiful Homes
My passion for homemaking sees me trawling websites, magazines and books endlessly for inspiration and new ideas.

Snowy Winter
What a lovely surprise that was. Everything looks so beautiful in the snow. I am obsessed with taking pictures in the snow, in fact I love the seasons and however much I dream of living permanently in the sunshine, I know I would miss our ever changing seasons.

I recently did a photo shoot for the Daily Mail and it was a joy to do because it brought together Suzanne Dando, Linda Barker Carol Smillie and myself.
Only In Chios

The Garlic Farm
I love Garlic and at a fair recently I met the people from the Garlic Farm on the Isle of Wight. Wow, do they know their Garlic! Have a look on the website as you can’t buy their produce from supermarkets.
