Never mind the recession.... what every interior hedonist really craves is a solid stone carved bath in which to luxuriate, sip a glass of chilled Chablis and soak away all their cares.

Rave on with a Smiley seat :)
I was a little peturbed to read the other day that some bright sparks have made a feature film of the 80's rave years using original footage.

Nearing the end of July and already enough blackberries to stuff a gigantic crumble, total result! One of the bonuses of living in student land is having a super-grown over garden next door - it's a jungle paradise for Missy and at the moment a fruity paradise for me. The students have all gone home... Continue Reading →
