Hello all! Sorry for taking so long to post. I’ve been busy at the hospital lately, and have had numerous papers to write for our clinical team. I did however manage to squeeze in the Home show 2014 last Sunday. It was fun to get a sneak peek of the […]
Here’s another blog series for the New Year. Its called ‘My Design picks out and about’. My first feature is from the annual East London Design show. I’m liking this pretty print by Sarah Hamilton with its coastal feel and light blue palette. Looking at it makes me long for Spring. The […]
Just popping back on the blog to wish everyone a fantastic New Year 2014. 2013 has been an interesting year for me both in terms of blogging and the progression of my medical career. I have been on Instagram for one year and thought I’d share with you some of […]

In continuation of my Arctic Pine, Scandinavian theme, here is instalment number 2 of my Christmas home decor. This is before I show you the children’s decoration in a later blog post. A far cry from the toned down minimalism, but a relaxed style that I adore too. At last, […]

It’s Halloween in 2 days. Anyone planning on going Trick or Treating? I haven’t been very organised this year with Halloween decor, but have stocked up the candy jar with treats that I have bought from LA – Pumpkin coloured Kit-Kat bars, Halloween themed Hershey chocolates and Tootsie rolls. My […]

Recently, I encountered a successful healthcare model described as practising ‘Disruptive Innovation’. The latter is an approach that seeks to improve a […]
