Lauren Child

I am such a fan of the illustrator Lauren Child and her creations Charlie and Lola and Clarice Bean to name a few. Her interest in interior design really shows in the background of the drawing. I eat my cereal every morning watching an episode of Charlie and Lola and it really brightens up the start to the day.

Kitchen Chic!

Reading through this month's Living Etc I was so excited to see these very lovely designs by Tamsin Oxley. They would totally brighten up any kitchen, including my own!

Self

I have admired so many blogs over the past two years, and this is is what has inspired me to start my own. Who knows if anyone will every read it, but I wanted it to be something true in heart and lovely. Lately I have wanted to stir a change. I have not been happy not feeling or being the best I can be. So one day when staring out of a window during a long work afternoon I remebered the Hungry Caterpillar. He was in transition and became all he wanted and hoped to be. So this is at heart what my blog is about. The journey to self improvement. Always learning, healthy attitude to life and food,lovely inspirational things such as music, fashion and art.

So here it begin.

To Kill a Mockingbird

Tonight we watched one of the most lovely and interesting documentaries on Harper Lee and her one and only book, To Kill a Mockingbird. The film maker travelled to her deep south home town to begin a journey of discovery. This is a book I read when I was doung my GCSE's and it has stayed very close to me throughout the years. I gave it to my beloved boy last christmas. Atticus Finch, in my opinion, is one of the most defining men and fathers in Literature. You rock so much Nell Harper Lee.

City Break

The boy took me for a weekend to the city in Bristol. It was so lovely to walk and eat and explore. We went on a bus tour, eat delicious food, stayed in a lovely hotel, had an old fashioned romantic dinner. It was a very happy and perfect birthday!
