How hysterical is this front page of Practical Householder March 1963? Ladies, balance the loft ladder up to your new and wonderful storage space on a small mahogany table, wear your sauciest red pencil skirt whilst you balance sexily to test it out and don't forget to ask a big strong man in a plaid...

It's not often you find a cellist in your bath but if I'd have consumed anymore of the delicious cocktails at CP Hart 's Manchester launch last night, I may well have fancied having a go with a fiddle in the shower myself 😉 What an evening - scrumptious nibbles, champagne tasting, sumptuous bathrooms, wine flowing...

We've taken Steppy 1 (11) before now... Continue Reading →

Even with stomachs full of butterflies, we girls downed a glass of wine (for nerves) and a delightfully large Cafe Rouge pudding each (for the hell of it), before crossing over to The Lowry on the launch night for Ordinary People. Just a few weeks earlier we'd all been butt naked in the name of art... Continue Reading →

Better late than never as it's been a busy old week, I'm finally getting around to posting some of my images from the Didsbury Open Gardens afternoon on 13th June.
