If I were invited to the Other Royal Wedding...

Friday, July 29, 2011
...there's a strong chance I would be wearing this. Sadly, however, I am not invited to the Other Royal Wedding, although that may not stop me loitering around the streets of Edinburgh trying to catch a glimpse of Zara and Mike Will and Kate tomorrow. So, can anyone come up with another reason why I simply have to have it? (I have no...

Fringe by the Sea: Maggie O'Farrell

Thursday, July 28, 2011
You can find lots of useful information about Maggie O'Farrell here. Awards she's won, authors she admires, rave reviews, et cetera. But I'm not in the business of useful information. I'm in the business of random fascinating  factoids. As follows. ♥ She's from North Berwick, as all the best people are. ♥ She has amazing hair. (Why am I so obsessed with curly ginger...

Five More Reasons Why Decluttering Is The Way Forward

Wednesday, July 27, 2011
My shelves, one day soon. Livet Hemma via Pinterest Every day I get more and more excited about the idea of The Great Decluttering. (Note the use of the word "idea" - obviously, I am yet to put any of my plans into action. The excitement may be short-lived.) There are just so many amazing benefits that hadn't even occurred to me! Key benefits include: 1....

Carried away

Monday, July 25, 2011
Thought you might like to see some of our honeymoon photos. In the end, the general vibe of wedding week turned out to be less, "Look at these pretty pictures!", and more, "WHOA we got married! And it's brilliant!"*. However, lest you should think that once the wedding was over the Hubster and I simply sailed off into a lifetime of harmonious matrimonial bliss,...

Do you think they were trying to tell me something?

Friday, July 22, 2011
{That's a flower girl under there, in case you were wondering} I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why there are so many pictures of the back of my head.

Ups and downs

Friday, July 22, 2011

Thursday, July 21, 2011
You know what you don't ever seem to hear about on wedding blogs? Wedding FOOD. I don't know why that is. I mean, it's weddings and food. TOGETHER. Seriously, what's not to love? Maybe it's because it's usually the bride who's telling the story and, apparently, brides do not eat at their weddings (was I the only one who actually ate something at mine??), or maybe...

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

I had intended to run this post later in the week, but my lovely mum (who, in case you missed them, left...
