Lottie Storey April 3, 2017

  • Rediscover qualities you had as a child (like spontaneity or fearlessness)
  • Feast on homemade hot cross buns
  • Switch everything off and get used to silence
  • Make a list of the niggling jobs in your home and get them fixed
  • Learn how to do a headstand
  • Write down the things you miss most when you’re away from home

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.
