In 2018 I began a 12 month long project to document Winterton-on-Sea across the seasons and in all it's wild, raw and rugged beauty.

We’d coveted our apartment for several years before it came on the market and we finally had the chance to buy it. We fell in love with the light. Our apartment is one of seven penthouses in a converted factory – our space, specifically, was the drawing rooms.

Before Stanley was born we camped at Latitude in 2010 and 2012. My memories are of total excess, partying into the early hours and waking up after lunch. So when we returned this weekend it was, of course, a little different. This time, as a family, we were ready to see the other side of Latitude and give Stanley a taste for festival life...

A lot has changed in the nine years since I graduated. My beloved art school is officially a university and my course is now called Graphic Communication. But there’s one thing that hasn’t changed and that’s the buzz that surrounds the end of year degree show.

Two years ago we visited Copenhagen for the first time, and, 6 months ago we explored Denmark’s second city (and this year’s city of culture) Aarhus. It is fair to say that these two Danish cities had a profound effect on me and in particular changed my view of the humble push bike.

I’d read that Lisbon is the new Berlin, but with sunshine! Just over a two hour flight time (from Stansted) and the cost of living comparable, if not preferable, to the UK, we decided we'd take a trip...

A friend of mine, first mentioned ‘pulling’ as a mouthwash technique a year ago. I was intrigued and did some research. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, it originated in India and it’s a process where you swish/pull oil through your teeth for roughly 15-20 minutes a day. This action is reported to draw out toxins from your body and also naturally whiten your teeth, improve your breath, address sleep problems, improve skin conditions and much more.

I’ve never associated colours with gender, from when Stanley was just a couple of weeks old I dressed him in a hot pink baby-grow. He looked great!I dress myself and him in colours that suit our skin tone. Unlike me, he’s able to wear a lovely salmon & blush pink, it doesn’t make him more or less feminine. I’ll never understand why some people consider colours to have a gender.

I’ve always been the tall girl. I was born long. For years, I hated standing out. To this day, I can hear my dad’s words ringing in my ears, “stand up properly Fiona, don’t slouch.”

Fiona and I were cuddled up on the sofa – it was a Friday night – we were likely enjoying a fruit cider and watching a dark Nordic crime thriller. Anyway, the details don’t really matter – the best bit was that my phone lit up with a DM on Instagram. ‘A lady called Liz from Adnams’ I said – ‘she wants to chat about a collaborative project’.

I’m a curious person by nature. I love meeting new people and understanding how things work. Books feed this appetite. I tend to prefer fact over fiction and, this year, several books have really helped me with both my personal and professional journey. Whilst some have inspired, others have allowed escapism and some have actually channelled my focus.Here are some of my favourites.
