My weekend has mainly been spent…
Waking up at my Mum's flat in London. Aching all over. I spent Friday night doing my thing as The Wedding Reporter at the Mandarin Oriental in Knightsbridge. In heels. Come Saturday morning, I was just about ready to chop my feet off. Ouch. Discovering there was no...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Waking up with the rotten virus that had been plaguing me all week. What started off as a cold, morphed into a horrible sinus thing that left me feeling completely wiped out. Sipping tea on the sofa beneath a blanket. Watching Hook and waking up very slowly. Somehow...
Home Comforts ~ Project Yarden Update
It's been a while since I updated you all on our DIY endeavours. It's not that we haven't been busy. The hallway and landing have had a fresh lick of paint, our huge open-plan living/dining room is almost finished and we've made even more progress in Isabel's bedroom....
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Waking up feeling refreshed after the best night's sleep I've had in ages. I went to bed at 10.30pm on Friday and the children slept until almost 8am. Bliss. Knocking back a quick cup of tea and jumping in the shower. Pulling on jeans and a sweater. Where did the...
Jesse’s 5th Birthday
Two weeks ago today, Jesse turned 5. I desperately wanted to share some more Birthday Letters with you all, but the days leading up to the 13th were insanely busy. Sensibly, I gave myself a week to plan and execute a children's party, complete two freelance projects,...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Apologies to those of you who have come in search of my usual weekly bullet points. I feel like posting something a bit more substantial today. Just to confuse you further, I'm actually going to go back in time to last weekend when we took the train to Salisbury to...
My {bank holiday} weekend has mainly been spent
Waking up on the sofa downstairs. I gave up my bed to my parents who arrived on Friday evening. Wishing Carl wasn't working away. Feeling a little hungover. Grabbing a quick breakfast and jumping in the shower. Taking delivery of a beautiful bouquet of flowers from a...
Love Audrey is 5!
Half a decade of blogging. How did that happen? I've been sitting here trying to think of something profound to say about this milestone. I could go on about how much this game has changed in the last five years, but it's all been said before. I could tell you about...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Waking up as Jesse climbed into bed with me just before 6am. Lingering beneath the duvet, cuddling my boy and listening to him chatter away. Missing Carl. A lot. Finally heading downstairs for a cup of tea. Curling up on the sofa to watch The Little Mermaid. Letting...
Dinner with Love Audrey ~ Indian-Style Salmon Roast
When it comes to meal planning and feeding my family, I've found myself in a bit of a funk recently. I love food and I enjoy cooking, but even I get bored and run out of inspiration occasionally. When I do, I often decide to ditch my usual recipe books and have rifle...
Life Lately
Shall we bypass the awkward conversation about why I haven't been blogging? I vote we skip the dull excuses and have a nice friendly catch up instead. Here's a little of my life lately... After weeks of keeping it to myself, I finally went public with the news that...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Enjoying that 'I don't have to get up in a hurry' feeling. Drinking tea on the sofa with the children while they watched cartoons. Demolishing an egg and bacon sandwich for breakfast. Luxuriating in the shower. Pulling on some comfy clothes for a day of pottering at...
The Desire to Document
I was a little older than Izzy is now when I first began keeping a diary. My parents had recently separated and I was meeting regularly with the deputy head of my school so she could keep a close eye on how I was coping with the emotional upheaval. One day she...
Affordable Skincare Favourites
I'll be the first to admit that I'm something of a skincare snob. Under normal circumstances, I'll happily hand over a sizeable sum for the latest lotion or potion and you'll often find me passionately declaring my love of Origins, Clarins and the like. However,...
My {Easter} weekend has mainly been spent…
Waking up early. Filling up on bacon and eggs before getting ready to leave the house. Singing The Zoo Song all the way to the bus stop. Bubbling with excitement as we travelled to Clifton. Making our way into Bristol Zoo. I cannot recommend the place highly enough,...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Waking up as Jesse climbed into our bed. Wishing we could sleep a little longer. Dragging myself downstairs for tea and snuggles on the sofa. Missing Izzy who was away with my parents for a few nights. Unpacking the Ocado delivery. Frantically preparing the house for...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Wishing the children would sleep in. Heading downstairs in a daze to lounge on the sofa and drink tea. Making pancakes. Having a very lazy day. We stayed in our PJs and pottered. Finally replacing the shelves in Jesse's room. We're in love with the Greenaway Gallery...
Love Audrey Adores ~ Elie Saab L’Eau Couture
I can't resist picking up new perfume whenever I pass through duty free. I'm obsessed with attaching memories to fragrance and selecting something new just before we leave the country ensures our destination has its own signature scent by the time we come home. L'Eau...
Paris in the Spring ~ Part 4
We suspected Sunday would need to be a little lazier due to my foot and we were right. Everything ached. I lingered beneath the bed covers while I waited for my painkillers to kick in, and once things were a little easier to bear I jumped in the shower, pulled on my...
Paris in the Spring ~ Part 3
Once we'd had our fill of the tower, we hopped back on the Metro and made our way to St-Michel Notre Dame. When we were planning our trip, the place I wanted to visit more than anywhere else was the famous Shakespeare & Company book store. It didn't disappoint and I...
