Soaring above my garden office (and most of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire) are The Red Kites. These enormous, majestic birds-of-prey screech, dive, glide, fight and play, but they always look beautiful – particularly in evening sunlight, when their red feathers glow … …keep reading
I’m a little bit in love with this vintage brooch I found the other day, which has a real, tiny, maple leaf locked forever inside a resin shell. It looks handmade and I wonder…who made it? And for whom? I … …keep reading
