Natural creativity
With plenty of paints in my bag and an abundance of flowers, leaves, sticks and stones found in the mountains, Georgie and I spent some time creating. Sometimes, a little help from nature is all you need.

Easter at the village
Easter in Cyprus is very much about traditions so there really isn’t any better place to celebrate this time of year than up in the mountains at Georgie’s grandparents summer house in the village. Families come together, many beers and kilos of meat are consumed and little cousins play in the back of pappou’s pickup […]
This is Cyprus
From the capital Nicosia to coastal Larnaca, this weekend we soaked ourselves in culture, markets, good food and walks along the beach. Once again, this is Cyprus.

Flapjacks are my new favourite quick and easy snack. There are a number of ways you can make them by mixing in dried fruits, raisins and even chocolate.

Dirt makes us happy
It goes without saying that our lives and daily routine have changed since moving. But this change has proven to be such a welcoming one. An inspiration to be exact. There’s an ease that comes with everything we do. Perhaps it is because I feel Georgie has the kind of freedom here he couldn’t really […]
odd ends
in the kitchen
I want to share this new obsession of mine, an unbelievable easy recipe for healthy snacking that Georgie loves. All you do is blend a handful of goji berries and pumpkin seeds and then mix with a heaped tablespoon of heated coconut oil. Roll the mixture into little balls and place in the fridge.
