Evelyn's room is possibly my favourite room in our (very small) house! Living in London means, at the moment, we have a two bed home. I love it because it is ours and needed little doing to it when we moved in.

The surreal notion of meeting you was overwhelming and I would relive that moment thousands of times if … Continue reading A Letter to my Daughter…

Maternity leave seems like such a distant memory these days! Going back to work has been a few things. Emotional. Exhausting. Frantic. Enjoyable. Surprising.
