Wreaths shouldn’t just be for Christmas, and there’s no better season to dress your front door than Spring. New buds and blooms, along with some of the prettiest hedgerow blossoms, can make for an inexpensive and eye catching feature. Hang them on external doors and gates, or bring inside to use as a candle ring […]
As the days get a little brighter, our minds start to turn towards Spring cleaning and organising our homes for the new season ahead. It’s the perfect time to tidy out and tidy up, before the Summer sees us abandon indoors for out, and the school holidays make organisation that little bit more difficult! If […]
With the colder months in full swing and Spring a way off yet, it can be difficult to stay upbeat and motivated at the beginning of a new year. The infamous ‘Blue Monday’ has been and gone, and many of us are feeling the pinch that Winter can instil. So how can we embrace the […]

Knowing what to buy for the person who has everything, or a party hostess or school teacher can prove difficult, especially if your budget […]

Sweat and Swearing almost certainly guaranteed. Arrival at the […]
I feel like every year I forget just how beautiful May is. It has been showing off in style a little extra this year, and with its bonus holiday days and pretty weather, we’ve been falling in love with it all over again. Our little wood has properly woken up now, and is showering us […]
I always breathe a sigh of relief when March rolls around because we made it through the Winter! We survived! All be it that this month began with more snow (so much snow!) and the trees in our wood, that I’ve been watching and waiting on so patiently to wake up, were clouded in white […]
The frigid temperatures of January have given way to a milder and (slightly!) brighter month with us. Little signs of the season to come are starting to pop up all over the countryside, and we are so glad to see them. Snowdrops and Willow buds are appearing all around Little Wood, and they are the […]
Happy New Year! I hope that you had the most peaceful and restful Christmas and New Year break. It always occurs to me that January is probably the worst month of all to exercise discipline with ourselves and make lasting resolutions. These dark, dreary days of late Winter call for home comforts, food heady with […]
