Z is for… Zen #atozchallenge
Where is your zen place? Where do you write, blog, draw, create? At the moment I enjoy the peace and quiet of the morning. I have taken to coming into work early (to beat the traffic) and I write while enjoying my first cup of tea of the day. Previously I wrote during my train […]

T is for… Tea #atozchallenge
Tea. My lifeline during the day. I am somehow back up to maybe 10 plus cups a day. The new job requires a lot of research and reading and less running around than my previous job so I can (a) actually drink my tea before it goes cold (b) use making tea as an excuse […]
S is for… Spiral-Bound Notebook Sofa #atozchallenge
Harvey Nicks has a fantastic window display at the moment – a sofa made out of spiral bound notebooks. Thankfully someone has finally found a good use for them.
