I was talking on stories today about how I haven’t really showed off the work we’ve done to the house yet, because it’s not finished. The hall still has an awful 18370 year old blood red threadbare carpet {saving up for a solid parquet floor is taking a REALLY long time 🙄}, and the kitchen still has black worktops and cream high gloss cupboards that are a far cry from my Shaker style/Belfast sink/wooden worktop dreams... But, on the plus side, I do still love my Welsh dresser ♥️ it was my mum and dad’s, and they kept it for me in the garage when they downsized from my childhood home because they knew how much I adore it. The church pew smell of old wood and the creak of the cupboard doors brings back so many fond memories every time I delve in there for Bonnie’s food or teacups 😍 it used to be all pine, but I sanded down the top and painted the rest, and then added new handles. It’s one part of the kitchen I just love 💫
My weekend walks just got a lot more stylish... thanks to the dreamiest collaboration with @boden_clothing! I’m so thrilled and utterly honoured to be a Boden brand ambassador 💫 when they asked me to think about cosy seasonal styling, I literally squealed when I found this doggy fair isle jumper - dogs AND fair isle on a jumper klaxon! 🎉#crazydoglady Bonnie’s only gripe is that there are no Yorkies on it 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 I was desperate for a new pair of Chelsea boots too as mine are years old and falling to pieces... these ones are the comfiest 😍 and the best bit?

It’s a well known fact that Michael is the cook in this house 👨🏻‍🍳 so I wanted to show off a little bit and cook for him for once on our cosy night in over the weekend! I cooked some @gressinghamduck breasts in plum sauce with two types of potatoes (because we’re carb monsters 😂); mashed potato & sweet potato, crispy mini roasties and some cabbage, peas and broccoli steamed and tossed in a bit of butter and mint. It was rather delicious if I do say so myself! The tiny potatoes are the perfect antidote to being a bit time pressed as they only need a quick par boil and then they can go in the oven for the exact same amount of time as the duck. We will definitely be having some duck again soon I think... it isn’t just for crispy pancakes! #dineinwithduck #dinnerisserved #ad
Don’t try and tell me you would have walked past this millennial pink iced apple in Tesco and NOT bought it for Instagram? 🤣🍎 I’m a sucker for toffee and chocolate apples at this time of year; such a big kid! My skin is still really suffering from the IVF drugs and I’m still getting new spot breakouts, and I’m feeling a bit self conscious at the moment. So today, I’m having a pink sprinkled apple for a face! 😁💕
As someone with anxiety, my most simple pleasures include either being at home or out in nature 🌿 When I’m at home, I like to do cosy, calming things that help to quiet my mind. A cup of decaf tea, my mindfulness journal and surrounding myself with pretty flowers and calming neutral decor really helps. . What’s your favourite simple pleasure?

Ahh, cosy autumn mornings 🍂 I love the textures of lots of different blankets layered up, a hot cup of tea in my hands and a silky soft puppy snuggle 💘 @obakuofficial have very kindly sent me two watches, and this one is my favourite! I love the dark face and rose gold details 🌚 #gifted #sensetime . . #slowlife #slowliving #slowweekends #theslowdowncollective #livefolk #thatsdarling #thatsdarlingweekend #simplyweekend #flashesofdelight #nestandflourish #simpleandstill #momentsofmine #ukbloggers #lbloggersuk #lovelysquares #thelifestylecollective #stayandwander #chooselovely #postitfortheaesthetic #distractionsandinspirations #quietthechaos #ofquietmoments
