Nature’s Palette 🎨✨
I couldn’t not share this insane sky we had tonight. 😍 Every now and then nature reminds us that it doesn’t need a paintbrush to create a masterpiece. The clouds were set ablaze with glowing oranges, soft pinks and hints of purple, and for a few precious minutes the whole world seemed to pause. 😍 No filters could ever quite capture the feeling of standing there and watching the sky paint itself. I hope you managed to catch a little piece of it wherever you are. 🌅🧡 Sometimes the greatest artist of all is the one above us. 💛

My weekend adventure 🗺️🪴🎶
As many of you know, I’ve been away with @Kane Andriunas this weekend, and although I’m very happy to be home (and rather sore from all the walking… blisters included 🙈), it was completely worth it. 🥳😍 The sun shone beautifully over St Austell in Cornwall, where we rented the most gorgeous old cottage. It was the perfect base for a little creative adventure. 🧭🗺️ One of the highlights was spending a day at Heligan Gardens. If you’ve never been, it’s one of those places that feels like you’ve wandered into the pages of a storybook. Ancient pathways weave through towering plants, hidden corners seem to appear around every bend, and everywhere you look there’s something quietly beautiful waiting to be noticed. It’s a place that invites you to slow down and simply be curious. 🌱🪴🫛 Yesterday we headed to the Eden Project. In this heat… wow! 🤦🏻‍♀️ The biomes were even hotter than usual, so it certainly felt like an adventure! Thankfully, as the evening rolled in, everything cooled down just in time for the Eden Sessions. We were lucky enough to have VIP tickets to see Mika, and what an incredible night it was. We danced, sang our hearts out, and had the absolute best time. 💜 I captured loads of photos and video over the weekend, so I’ll start editing those soon. For now, here are a few unedited snapshots from a weekend that reminded me creativity doesn’t always come from sitting at an easel. Sometimes it comes from wandering somewhere magical, listening to music under an open sky, and making memories with people you love.🥰 I hope you all had a wonderful weekend too. Tell me… what filled your creative cup this weekend? 🥰

A little life update… ☀️🌿
It’s been very hot here in Cornwall this week, and my body has definitely let me know about it. 🙈 If you’re new here, I live with a few health conditions, so when the temperature climbs, everything slows down. Even the simplest jobs suddenly feel like climbing a mountain! 🫠🫠🫠 That means I’m a little behind with Around the World in 80 Sketches. If you’ve only just joined us, it’s our weekly creative adventure where we “travel” to a different country using Google Street View no passport required! We sketch, paint, write poetry, collage, or create in any medium inspired by that place. It’s become one of my favourite parts of our community because we get to explore the world together from our own homes. ✈️🌍 The good news is I have a very exciting weekend ahead! @Kane Andriunas and I are heading to St Austell, where we’ve rented a beautiful old cottage, and then we’re off to see Mika perform at the Eden Project. 🌿🎶 If you’ve never heard of it, the Eden Project is one of Cornwall’s most iconic attractions. Built in a former china clay pit, it’s home to enormous biomes that recreate tropical rainforests and Mediterranean landscapes from around the world. It’s a fascinating blend of nature, conservation, art and architecture and one of my favourite places to visit. Pic below 👌 Normal service will resume very soon. Until then, I thought I’d share a few little moments from my garden this week. Sometimes, when life slows us down, nature has a lovely way of reminding us that slowing down isn’t always such a bad thing. 💚🌸

Before you head to the galleries… step into the pub. 🍻✨
One of my favourite little moments in London wasn’t inside a museum at all. It was walking into The Admiralty in Trafalgar Square and taking in all the history, the atmosphere, the woodwork, the brass, the stories hidden in the walls. 🥰 For many of you from across the pond, a traditional British pub is something you’ve only ever seen in films, so I thought I’d bring you along with me. It’s a lovely reminder that creativity isn’t confined to galleries or studios. Sometimes it’s in the architecture, the design, the signs above the bar, the conversations, the worn wooden tables, and the centuries of stories a place quietly holds. Curiosity has a funny way of rewarding us when we look beyond what we expected to find. So here’s a little peek inside one of London’s iconic pubs. I hope it feels like you’ve stepped through the door with me. 🇬🇧❤️ Have you ever found inspiration somewhere completely unexpected? I’d love to hear where. 🥰 https://youtu.be/XtSDrvysSTk?is=NPxmAfdRs_rN5DEq
