Lottie Storey April 26, 2017

Plants need only four things to flourish – light, soil, nutrients and water. Our own list of needs seems more complex but it is actually much the same. The light-filled days of late spring lift our mood; getting our hands dirty while planting and sowing is earthily satisfying; while food and drink is nourishing and there’s a joy in sharing it. Learning from nature is an ancient idea – and one that works when we take the time to understand it.

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.
