I first met the team behind SORU when we bought a stroller for our son Tommy back in winter 2023. It was a few weeks before his due date and it was such an exciting milestone. Walking out of the store … [Read More...] about SORU: a business built on family passion
Dad
My first memory is of you. The early morning light on a French campsite when you brought me for a walk. I remember the feel of my towelling cream and yellow little t-shirt and watching water-spiders skate across the top of the pond. I remember balancing on your feet and laughing, looking at your face […]
Isadoreintimates – a second skin of empowerment
A business founded on innovation and taking risks has instant appeal. I spoke to Isadore Tozer to find out how creating hand-made lingerie on her Grandma’s sewing machine has grown into a thriving online venture. It’s often said that it is the intangible that creates confidence in a person – a certain air of poise […]
To Mom…
For the unwavering support, laughs, fun and happiness. For always saying to live a life without regrets. For making us feel like we can do anything. For adding the little blocks along the way to help us make our dreams a reality. For your joy. For creating a limitless world. For being you. For everything. […]
The Photographers’ Gallery
A stones throw from Oxford Street, The Photographers’ Gallery is the ideal place to spend some down time. I paid £4 for a day pass and whizzed around three great exhibitions. They covered everything from the dull pain of grief in a series of images taken by Sophie Calle, to life in 1950s Britain by […]

Just a harmless practical joke?
This road sign that appeared on Tuesday in a predominantly Jewish area of London, Stamford Hill is racism at its worst. It apparently warns people in the area to ‘beware of Jews’. The sign shows the silhouette of an Orthodox Jewish man wearing a Fedora hat. In this pointed attempt to bring unease and anti-Semitic […]
Ready, set…bake!
So my post is incredibly short tonight as I’m baking a cake for a ‘Bake Off’ event in work tomorrow and in true ‘Faulty Towers’ comedy-esque timing, the light bulb is gone in the kitchen and I can’t seem to find a weighing scales to measure anything properly! It’s also quite late and I’m definitely […]
All that glitters
My inner magpie came out at the V&A over the weekend as I walked past shiny, glittery, jewels that would take your breath away. I also loved this brilliant pair of shoes. They look like a Spice Girl platforms circa 1997, meets a glittering disco inspired ABBA boot, combined with the personality of a Harajuku Girl, […]
A leap of faith
A quick post tonight and it’s to share this picture as it completely encapsulates what it means to live in London. Opportunities are literally around every corner and if you direct energy to the things that make you happy, just watch the ripples begin to build. You can learn so much from others if you […]
