A Short List Of Things Bringing Joie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Good morning and it is almost the last day of September, a fact which is completely blowing my mind. Ella called me this morning wrapped in a fleece jacket to say that it was so cold that her breath was freezing and that Manchester had gone into Autumn mode with a vengeance. Last night, I had the fire on for the first time and I have to admit it was very nice indeed, albeit extremely warm. I feel that it won’t be long now until the clocks go back and we are plunged into after school darkness so

[cover photo credit: home of Yasmin Sewell photographed by Dylan Thomas, Vogue].Good morning and today, I will mostly be clearing out the spare bedroom.

Good morning and my main dilemma this week has been spiders. Almost every single day I have entered the bathroom, only to find one in the tub. I know it’s spider season - Instagram keeps telling me this - but last year, I didn’t have any so I am keeping my fingers crossed that they are restricted to the plug hole. I was forced to kill a particularly large one last week that was seriously as big as my palm (a Kate Mosse book was my weapon of choice) but usually, I scoop them and thrown them out o
