The Cotswolds is one of the most beautiful places The Cotswolds is one of the most beautiful places in England, known as an area of outstanding natural beauty. It is unsurprising, then, that the local architecture is reflective of this world-famous beauty. Cotswold Cottages look as though they have been taken straight out of a fairy tale book depicting illustrations from a bygone era. It's little wonder then that their architecture is sometimes also referred to as the 'storybook style'. The renowned 'storybook style' so famously associated with Cotswold architecture dates back as far as the sixteenth century and closely linked with the Tudor style. Typical features include steeply pitched roofs, thatched roofs, arched doorways, and prominent chimneys which lead down to large, inglenook fireplaces. Cotswold Stone has been used in building around the Cotswolds from as early as the Saxon period. The stone itself has a history of millennia, made up as it is of the calcified, or fossilised, remains of ancient marine creatures. This is what gives it its unique colour and bumpy texture. Since the houses are literally built from the earth around the Cotswolds, it is no wonder they have such character and a feel of the ancient about them. This particular row of cottages was in the bustling little town of #broadwaycotswolds

S1E4: Lydia Bolton. In this episode, I speak to Lo S1E4: Lydia Bolton. In this episode, I speak to London-based sustainable fashion designer, @lydia__bolton Lydia, who created her namesake brand in 2019, felt compelled to create fashion in a way that didn’t harm the environment. Using second-hand clothing sourced from thrift stores and unsellable items in charity stores, Lydia turns unwanted garments and reconstructs them into innovative new womenswear designs. In 2021 Lydia collaborated with Reebok, teaching a Starting Sustainable Lesson as part of their Write Your Legacy Campaign. She has also been featured on WGSN, the leading trend forecasting platform, as an influencer to watch. In 2020, Bolton was featured in Miss Vogue as a Girl on a Mission, in Euro News as a designer fighting waste, and collaborated with NICCE creating a collection from their dead-stock clothing. #handmadeclothing #sustainablefashion #lydiabolton #fabricdesign #sustainabledesign
One of my favourite things about living in Wales i One of my favourite things about living in Wales is the foooood 😍 a traditional cake in Wales is #welshcakes Did you know? Once upon a time, Wales was known as the largest producer of coal. The men would go off to the coal mines while the lady of the household would prepare Welsh cakes. These would be served with afternoon tea. Children were also given these delightful griddle-cooked cakes to take along with their lunches for school. Because Welsh cakes are rather durable and easy to tote, they became quite favoured among the coal miners. They could easily be stashed in a coat pocket, perfect for bringing cheer to a dismal day in the mines. Soon though, life would change for the people of Wales. The world began to modernize, even in this quaint and charming Celtic country. Mining faded out and big business boomed in. Suddenly, the time and devotion to crafting special treats like the Welsh cake faded away. But not completely. Welsh cakes remain as the treasures of Wales. Light, slightly spiced and sweet and truly delightful, once you taste one, you’ll feel sorry you’ve missed out for so long. Some of my favourite places to get welsh cakes are: @bwydifynd @poptytandderwenbakery @rhugestate @poptybakeryltd
Being almost 1,000 years old, seeing Conwy Castle Being almost 1,000 years old, seeing Conwy Castle is easily up there as one of the best things to do in Wales on your next trip. Being A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Conwy Castle has a heap of things to see and do, especially if you love a gorgeous Welsh Castles. Did you know? Conwy Castle was built as a direct replacement to Deganwy Castle as its waterfront location enabled an easy resupply by sea. Building materials were robbed from Deganwy Castle for the new structure that was built during the late 12the century and what was left was allowed to drift into ruin. Designed and by architect Master James of St George, the castle took four years to build between 1283 to 1287. I do often wonder how people lived back then, what furniture they had inside and what it would have been like to live during that time. I do love learning about the history of where I live. Do you have a castle in your hometown? What’s something interesting you know about where you live?
