Bold & Noble - Made in England


Beautiful screen-prints by Bold & Noble.
The quintessentially english design is fresh and bold. The modern colour palette is distinct, memorable and complimentary.

I love, love, love the 'Yellow Moss' nature prints.

Go & discover... 


"Bold & Noble was born at our kitchen table. 
Our vision: to create beautifully-made screen prints people would love. While Granny babysat, we worked nights on our first collection—which keeps on growing."

Trees Around Britain - Yellow Moss


"We use traditional methods and all our collaborators are based in England."





Birds Around Britain - Norfolk Blue


"We make products that stand the test of time, by hand, in the old-fashioned way."

Kids & Vegetables at Grubby Cottage

There's something so heart-warming about watching my little helpers prepare sunday lunch. It's one of those proud Mummy moments...


And not only do I get the help...


My little ones are eager to eat up all of their finely prepared vegetables. Kids & Veg? I know! It's as easy as that (so far...) All we need now is a veggie patch...

Primrose Hill London

Primrose Hill delicatessen... 'Anthony Delicatessen' 146 Regents Park Road, London.


This has to be my favourite spot in Primrose Hill.
We often call in on our way home for the most delicious cured meats, olives, brioche bread and more recently...


Cakes!
There is something very homely and comforting about buying food from the bustle of London city then two hours later having lunch in the quietness of our rural garden filled with only the sound of birdsong. This is city and country living.


Primrose Hill is the perfect stopping off point in London. 
The kids can stretch their legs in Regents Park before a long journey home.

I guarantee that you will be spoilt for choice with the independent shops.
There is a Cupcake Cafe and a traditional book shop, a handful of coffee shops, Nicholas wine merchants and a florist.

Elias & Grace do the most delightful designer children's wear.

There are a few home interior shops such as my favourite Graham & Green. They are so helpful and will post to you if needed. 

Mary Portas's shop Mary Living & Giving is a great little charity shop too - my girls love the vintage wardrobe dressing room - check it out! 

Or, if that's not for you why not take time out for a 'recovery treatment' or 'party prep' at Cowshed?
'From Horns to Hooves"!
Cowshed offer a wide range of beauty and therapeutic treatments.

Shhhh, between you and me... 
Primrose Hill is one of London's little gems.
