We were recently invited to London for the launch of the new Microsoft Surface , a piece of technology neither my son or I had tried out before and didn't really know what to expect but we always enjoy a good adventure to the big smoke and trying out something new so were really excited to find out more about what makes the new Microsoft Surface Go so special. I'm always really grateful that Cardiff has a high speed service direct to London meaning we can go from the Capital of Wales to the Capital of England in 2hrs! As we arrived a little early we headed to Westminster to spot the houses of Parliament and the rather covered up Big Ben as well as stand in awe of the London Eye. We always like to soak up as much of the vibrant atmosphere London has to offer even if we are only there for a few hours. The event was held at The White Space near Covent Garden and offered creative and interactive sessions for both adults and children. While the adults listened......

Weekend:In at the Chickenshed
At the end of last month I was lucky enough to be invited to come along to Weekend:In at a converted building called the Chicken Shed , situated among the rolling hills of Monmouthshire.

First I picked up fellow welsh blogger and friend Laura from Cardboard Cities and we made our way up through the Monmouthshire countryside to the most idyllic location. We arrived just in time ......
How beautiful is this English Oak refectory table! For those of you who read the blog regularly will know I love things made out of natural materials wood and not much comes more exquisitely and beautiful made than that of Titchmarsh & Goodwin handmade and bespoke pieces which are firmly in my wishlist of things to own in our new house one day. It's always wonderful to see such amazing things come out of the UK and for traditional skills to be celebrated. I love the story behind this iconic British furniture maker which has been going since the 18th century and is family run. All the pieces are handmade from scratch at their workshops in Suffolk from sustainable wood sourced in UK forests. It's so refreshing to see unique large scale pieces being made with so much love and attention to detail. I love this contemporary Walnut Sofa I think why I am so visual drawn to their products is the clever design and mixing modern and traditional styles together to......
