Escape: Mellow meadow

Lottie Storey May 10, 2016

A weekend away camping in an idyllic Dorset meadow, Emma Bradshaw and family have fun sleeping under the stars, cooking on the campfire – even washing up in the open air.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
