Ok maybe not Cy Twombly quite yet, but he’s got the spirit! Today was a rainy rainy day so we got out the paints for the first time properly. George does lots of flyby painting at children’s centres, but this was the first time he sat down and had a proper dedicated painting session. And [...]

We’ve been getting ready to go away so although I picked out my Folksy picks on Friday I didn’t get a chance to post. Luckily or unluckily Mother Nature has kept up my theme for me. Rain rain rain. Not my fondest thing when I’m trying to get loads of clothes dried. But luckily some [...]

So it’s been a few months since our very exciting coffee table purchase, but we went one step further this weekend with our first art purchase. Since the coffee table (which is a beautiful teak and tile number) we’ve decided that we’d much rather have a few really special things than masses of Ikea [...]

Yesterday despite the Easter sleet and snow we ventured out to Kew Gardens with our friends Jon and Jan to see the Henry Moore sculptures. Already having been to Kew and already being semi-familiar with Henry Moore, I had a pretty set idea in my head of what we would see. What I hadn’t counted [...]
