As the clocks go forward, I thought it befitting to write about how we could bring the latest Summer pastel home decor and design into your home. I think soft pastel sorbet hues bring calm and relaxation into a space. Also, there is no harm in indulging in some retail […]
Here’s my staying at home wellbeing kit, even though at present I can’t stay at home, as I’m a doctor needed to help treat patients. I’m not sure what it is with loo roll and us Brits at this time of crisis. I decided not to buy at the supermarkets, […]

AD. How do I do laundry efficiently? I’ve been grappling with this problem for quite a while. It seems to be an endless task in our home. Every time I think I have conquered it, the clothing mountain grows again. Does this strike a chord with you too? When I […]
