    A Cosy Springtime Nest in the Garden | Life in a time of Quarantine

    16th May, 202030th June, 2020

    Last weekend on Saturday I decided to create this dreamy scene in our back garden for Emilia before the weather took a cooler turn. Since we’re home all day at the moment, our garden has very

    Our Slow Wintry Sunday | a little family walk at Anglesey Abbey

    21st February, 201921st February, 2019

    One wintry Sunday in January, we decided to head to our favourite local National Trust for a walk through their winter garden. Since our first visit years ago, James and I have always really enjoyed heading

    For little stories of my life, details of where I've travelled and what I've discovered, created and loved along the way.

    :: a little bit of furniture rearranging and tinke :: a little bit of furniture rearranging and tinkering in this area of Emilia’s bedroom. She loves her books and always makes a beeline for this corner, so I’m trying to create more space for her to get cosy and explore her favourite stories 📚✨ . (features previously gifted items)
    :: I was recently reminded of this glorious arrang :: I was recently reminded of this glorious arrangement of Dahlias (thank you @hannah.straughan) from one of my many visits to Anglesey Abbey last year, so I just had to dig out one of my edits from my collection ✨💕 I’ve definitely missed being able to wander these beautiful gardens quite so much this summer. Living vicariously through everyone else’s photos – that’s the magic of having this wonderful little app isn’t it 💫 . Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend, friends x
    :: a late night post from me — because these glo :: a late night post from me — because these glorious Delphiniums are one of the few things soothing my restlessness right now. My insomnia has taken a turn for the worse and so my days have been merging into weeks quicker than I can believe. I know I’m not alone in experiencing trouble sleeping, but it really can feel relentless can’t it?! Sending anyone in the same boat lots of love and hope you get some much needed rest too. 💕✨
    :: a rare moment of calm captured during our famil :: a rare moment of calm captured during our family adventures earlier this month — though they usually occur in the most unexpected spots... this one was while hidden amongst a field of delphiniums 💕 (and I cannot wait to share more of those gloriously floral photos with you soon!) 💫 . #emiliahannarose
    :: TWO years of you, my beautiful Emilia Hanna Ros :: TWO years of you, my beautiful Emilia Hanna Rose ❤️ . It’s been almost three weeks since Emilia’s Birthday and I still feel like I’m adjusting to all of the emotions that came along with it — Two years old feels like as big a milestone as One! . We celebrated with a long weekend of day trips during the hottest week this year ☀️ Filled with beach days, flower fields, woodland walks, blueberry picking (probably her most favourite fruit of all her beloved berries)... and picnics for almost every meal of our five day jaunt. It was perfect for us. After months of isolation, we definitely needed this escape and it was such a special time making these memories on an alternative family holiday this year. . So, today I’m finally getting around to sharing some photos from our little summer adventure — first up, with our trip to Hitchin Lavender fields. Just looking back at these photos gives me all the feels 🥰. Emilia was in her element exploring the fields and pointing out the many many bumble bees! Plus, if you’re not diving head first into lavender on your Birthday, well are you even celebrating it to the fullest?! 💜✨😆 . #emiliahannarose
    :: everyday adventures like these are making me so :: everyday adventures like these are making me so happy right now ✨🍃 We may only be walking 10 minutes from home most of the time, but having this become our normal for these past several months, well it’s taught me how to really embrace these simple, slow, joyful moments so much more. Especially when days with a toddler generally feel quite chaotic, I’m grateful for these calmer moments outdoors 🌿 . #emiliahannarose
    :: we’ve not been to the coast in such a long ti :: we’ve not been to the coast in such a long time and I’ve been missing these peaceful, refreshing views terribly... So I’m feeling very happy at the prospect of celebrating Emilia’s second Birthday at the beach this weekend! 🤍🐚 . Do you have any recommendations for beautiful places to visit along the Norfolk coast? We’re still a little undecided on where to go to avoid the crowds 🌊✨
    :: my little woodland fairy 🧚🏼 . I’ve shar :: my little woodland fairy 🧚🏼 . I’ve shared more magical photos from our woodland wander in my Stories if you’d like to join us for a daily dose of nature (saved to my ‘Summer’ highlights too) ✨🍃 Happy Sunday, friends x . Beautiful linen dress previously gifted by @nelliequats (which is currently 40% off in their summer sale!) 💫 . #emiliahannarose
