visiting the loire valley – MY FRENCH COUNTRY HOME

For the first time this year, we are taking guests to visit the Loire Valley. This fertile region of France, best known for its spectacular chateaux, is also renowned for its pleasant climate and gentle living.

I wanted to design a tour for our guests that would include some chateaux visits, with a few gardens (of course!), some shopping, a cooking class and lots of good food and wine along the way. This is the foundation, and once I had that, I started adding in other ideas.

Last year, I drove down to the Loire with my husband, to test

Weekend View – French Country Cottage

Welcome to the weekend view. This week- it is all about family and a new wee one to love.

I was a tad quiet on the blog and social media last week -it was a week full of family fun, baby snuggles and babysitting. Our family has been so blessed with Juliette and Enzo – & we welcomed our third grand baby last week.

Welcome Jionni

A sweet little one joined our family last week. Juliette is now a big sister to baby brother Jionni. He is a tiny little bundle of joy and he looks so much like Juliette

mindful living and our january/february magazine

As I flick through our January/February edition of the MFCH Magazine, it strikes me how many of the subjects tie in to my current obsession, namely ‘mindful living’.

To pay more attention to my special peeps; to declutter and restyle my home; and to continue to grow the garden as an extension to the house, a place to rest and enjoy, in harmony with the growing constraints of our changing climate.

The interiors we show in the January

Homeowners, Tell Us About The Home Improvement You Did, Big Or Small, That You Ultimately Ended Up Regretting

But I’d be remiss not to mention that I haven’t always been thrilled by the results of every single project I’ve attempted in my two-year stint as a homeowner.

The regrets have often been pretty tiny. Like installing this mid-century modern-ish chandelier in my kitchen! The
