The Balm is one of those brands that I have heard whisperings about for a while, but have never really felt myself drawn towards. I think this might have something to do with the quirky packaging that, although fun, doesn’t have me feeling enamoured the way some high/medium end equivalents do. It was really only when a counter popped up in my local Debenhams a month or so ago that I became intrigued, and since then my love for the brand has done nothing but grow. I’ve ...

We've reached double figures, Henry is ten months old. I just can not believe that it's only two months till his first birthday, and yet being a family of four just feels so right, like it's always been this way. It's funny how that works. 
I have to admit there is very little to report this month. He still has just the two teeth. He is still crawling around at the speed of light. He confidence cruising around the furniture is growing and ...

Rage about all the black men killed by racist cops (not to mention all the injustice meted out that stops short of outright murder).

With a huge pop from the crowd we were all well aware that the Zac Brown Band was on stage and ready to blow the doors off in their headlining spot at CMT Music Fest!

I have been to Jaipur, dozen times but never came to know about Galtaji Monkey Temple until I saw 2 hours of mind blowing documentary on Monkey Thieves at National Geographic. Though I never agree with the term thieves, but it was an amazing documentary.

Bonsai is a great concept developed by Japanese many decades back. We love bonsai trees and fruits. The scientific approach developed by Japanese soon spread worldwide. Bonsais became a worldwide phenomenon. People got excited to see miniature trees one tenth of the actual natural size. Biologically size is reduced tremendously but without any compromise with the other properties like the growth of flowers and fruits. Though the respective size gets reduced in the same proportions. This looks exciting... Читать дальше...

If you're a frequent reader of my blog or if you follow me over on my YouTube channel you'll probably be aware that we've been making a lot of exciting changes to our home recently, including converting our loft into a brand new bedroom and en-suite for Adam and I.

Things are going really well, the conversion is finally finished and all of the bedrooms are getting there in terms of those last few final touches, it's honestly so nice seeing it all come together and being able to enjoy the rooms at last. Читать дальше...

Berlin based musicians’ collective s t a r g a z e and its Artistic Director André de Ridder will welcome guests John Cale, Jherek Bischoff & Amanda Palmer, Marc Almond and Laura Mvula to celebrate his musical heritage.

From Seattle Times: President Barack Obama on Saturday rejected the notion that this week’s stunning violence is a signal that the U.S. has returned to some of the darkest days of its past, saying that as painful as the killings of police and black men were, “America is not as divided as some have suggested.”

… as for land tax… good luck with that… I haven't got the foggiest clue about how you could explain that a high land tax is beneficial to anyone who's not an economist. Most people either own houses or aspire to own houses in the future, how to communicate that sky-high property taxes are a great idea that they're just going to love....?????

We're in a fact and logic free zone here.

Let's start with "sky high property taxes".

Welcome to the first episode of Bat Ayin, our profile of a unique community in Israel.

The town of Bat Ayin lies in the hills between Jerusalem and Hebron. The population is estimated to be 85% baal teshuva, Jews who weren't born Orthodox but chose that way of life. Many of the residents are artists, farmers, and/or scholars. All of them share a sense of mission: this is their land, and their vision is essential to the future of the Jewish people.

RHS Hampton Court Flower Show is big, I have to say this because be in no doubt, it is big.  It is the largest of the RHS shows and whenever I visit I still get amazed at the bigness of it all.  I am starting to think I need more than one day there as I am fairly sure that I do not get around to see it all.

I shall start with my favorite show garden: the Dogs Trust A Dog's Life garden designed by Paul Hervey-Brookes to celebrate 125 years of the Dogs Trust.

Phew .... it's been a long week.  
What with the changeable weather, painters showing up/not showing up, builders picking things up, guys dropping off chippings, non-stop watering in the polytunnel, clearing up after escaping chickens who love to rummage around in the chippings that Lovely Hubby has placed so carefully around the plants, and the general day to day hectic-ness of living with two hyperactive Jack Russells and a seemingly permanently hungry Pug,  and if you top it all off with...

What better way to raise our spirits after the misery of Brexit and the rise of the loony right than a street party? Thank the Lord Mayor for his big day. Last year, we sizzled under a cloudless sky. This year sunshine and showers were on the menu, but this didn’t dampen our ardour or the enthusiasm of the performers. From ballerinas to buskers, breakdance to bangra, choristers to elderly brass bandeliers, the mad mix of turns – on the stages, on the streets and on the floats – proved Norwich folk are truly bonkers.
