On Sunday, we decided to celebrate the very brief appearance of the sun in North Wales by joining in with Flymo’s ‘First Cut Sunday’, the day of the year where households across the UK tend to turn their attention their gardens.

Despite writing about lots of lovely things for the home, I’m not actually a massive shopper. Bigger items, I buy with the intention of them lasting almost forever. Smaller, more decorative accessories, while I might pick them up a little more frequently, I still expect them to be more than a passing trend and to have, if possible, multiple uses.
