Happy Friday!

It’s been a week of contrasts - mostly incessant rain but some very spring-like sunshiny bursts in between to keep us going; work and play, country and city, planting seeds while forced bulbs open up. I went into London from The Cotswolds to the opening of my mother’s art exhibition (more on that below) and felt a real new season energy trying its upmost to break through the winter monotony.

In this week’s dispatch - my mother’s art exhibition in London (colour & joy!), an edit of the best new season mules to slip on for spring, my ‘Life in Charms’ podcast interview with Annoushka Jewellery, ice cream like you’ve never seen it, the power of movement & more…

Wishing you a gorgeous weekend.

My Life In Charms

Recently I had the pleasure of being a guest on Annoushka’s Life in Charms podcast. We talk about my rural, wild and free childhood in Wales, early career aspirations, my forever inspirations and what has charmed my life to inspire bespoke charm designs. Baked potato, anyone?!

Kate Corbett-Winder Exhibition

My Mama, Kate Corbett-Winder’s latest exhibition opened this week and is incredible! Obviously I’m a little biased but genuinely, it really is wonderful. So much colour, life and joy; and beauty! So much beauty. The paintings are a garden series, inspired by high summer and a riot of colour which makes it the perfect antidote to this miserable grey wetness. It’s in the Browse and Darby Gallery on Bury Street and on for the next two weeks, until 27 February.
