This post features affiliate links What better day to celebrate my favourite Cornish creatives than St Piran's Day? The work of these fabulous women is so distinctive, I always recognise them when they pop up on my feed - and immediately add to basket! Check them out below. Studio Lowen Lisa is probably best known… Continue reading My favourite Cornish creatives
Hello, Bank Holiday! Isn't it nice to have an extra day to just slow down a bit? The bulk of my Bank Holiday included a spa day and another fourth birthday party - two very different experiences, as I'm sure you can imagine! Here's a little look back at life last week. The Gruffalo The… Continue reading A few of my favourite things #90
How flippin' lovely has it been the last few days? I've been so grateful for the opportunity to take Jenson on a few adventures while we've been off work and nursery. Plus the weather has been gorgeous. Although I must remember to reapply the factor 50 regularly. Here's a look back at a few favourites.… Continue reading A few of my favourite things #86
Yesterday I wrote about a writing workshop I recently attended, led by writer Anna Mansell. It was an inspiring and empowering session, which encouraged me to really think about the kind of writer I want to be. I thought Anna was so ballsy for walking away from her job (marketing for a theatre company) and… Continue reading Interview with writer Anna Mansell
At the start of the year I set myself a few goals, some personal, some professional. I wanted to feel creative and challenged. I wanted to start making more time for myself. Actually, it was more than that. I wanted to learn to be ok with putting myself first sometimes. It's easy to feel like… Continue reading Thoughts on feeling the fear and writing anyway

Jenson is three and a half, so it's the first Christmas we've really been able to talk about what's going on and he's so excited. Last week my mum and I took him to see Father Christmas at the… Continue reading Hot chocolate with Father Christmas at The Rock Pool

Etsy Made Local St Ives* kicked off tonight and will play host to a range of Cornish creatives until the end of the week. If you're not in Cornwall this weekend, never fear. I've linked up all… Continue reading Reasons to shop Cornish this Christmas
First of all, I'm totally not sorry for the alliterative title of this post. Second of all, I'm not sorry (much) that I left Jenson for 24 hours after he spent a night being a sick. You know why? Because I was reminded that other people are more than capable of stepping in (thanks, Dad!)… Continue reading A blissful birthday break at St Moritz Hotel
A few weeks ago I headed over to the Tremenheere Kitchen for the first time. Yes, I've lived in Penzance for nearly all of my 30 years on this planet and had never been to the Sculpture Gardens or this incredible restaurant. Well, that certainly won't be the last time I visit. I'll be honest,… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: Tremenheere Kitchen
I'm a sucker for seasonal traditions. We first took Jenson to the Trevaskis Farm pumpkin patch in 2016, then again last year, so of course we had to pop back before Halloween rolled around. I panicked at the start of last week because the farm had sold out of pumpkins and I really wanted to… Continue reading Happy Halloween
