WIN! Beautifully quirky artisan planter from Black Dog Pottery
We are a bit in love with Black Dog Pottery. It’s Fernando’s fault – we saw him on Instagram, and immediately swooned at his moustachio-ed magnificence. Look: Total. Babe. And the more you mosey around her planters, the more you fall in love with their adorable characters, and elegantly classy lines. Why on earth woudl you ever put your house plants in a dull old boring plant pot ever again, when you can have...
WIN – We’ve 6 copies of the National Geographic Kids ‘Weird but True!’ Annual to give away

I read it last week in two long sittings – and I flipping LOVE this book! Firstly, never underestimate the appeal of a book with a glow-in-the-dark cover (I know!) – we...
Win a winter’s worth of logs worth £220 with Certainly Wood!
So – have you lit yours yet? I’ll admit it – we gave in to the temptation last weekend, and lit our woodburner for the first time since last winter. Naturally it wasn’t really cold enough outside, and within an hour we were opening all the windows and stripping off jumpers and socks in an effort to cool down again! But even so… nothing bits that crackling warmth, does it? But of course, that means the sad...
