And so the sun went down today with the temperature gauge on the car reading Minus 1, exactly how Mr M and I are feeling. Last night was just awful and though I'd planned for our own vet to visit Mia today, things didn't go according to plan. She had a terrible night and I... Continue Reading →
I think that’s college out the window. Again.
Three years ago I thought it would be a good idea, as the injury to my back had put paid to any ripping out of fireplaces and skip filling, to get some interior design qualifications. It's all very well having pulled apart tens of houses and put them back together again, but some clients like... Continue Reading →
1.1.11: Cat litter & cottage pie – how (not?) to start a year

It was my chance... Continue Reading →
The (inevitable) pre-Xmas disaster, soothed by cocktails!
Oh, the joys of living in an unrenovated property! Slowly but surely my house is falling apart around us. Just running myself a bath last night before heading out on a fab cocktail tasting evening at The Alchemist and bang, the ceiling in the hall outside the bathroom collapsed. The week before Christmas. Thank god... Continue Reading →
