What made you start blogging?
When I bought my first computer in 08, I started sharing photographs of my life and home on Flickr under the name of Pop Candy. Followed my blog in 2010. I really enjoyed posting what I Was it working, Developing my photography style and like-minded folk online meeting.
Over the years, the blog HAS-shifted from an online diary to a place Where You'll find easy lifestyle tips, from 'how to style up your home for spring' to 'decluttering your kitchen in 5 easy steps '.

Which is your favorite spot in the flat and why?
hand I love the living room Because It's bright and airy. The morning light beams through the windows, making it an uplifting space to walk into Each Day. It fulfils So Many roles, from a place to eat and listen to music to somewhere to entertain friends. My niece and nephew love to visit, Because there's so much space to run around in

What was the flat like When You first Moved in
Having renovated my two previous homes - a 1960s flat and a 1930s house - I didn ' t really want to do it again! When I viewed this place, I liked the white kitchen and the only immediate exchange Knew I would make to Were the floors and walls.
I like my home to act as a blank canvas, so I tend to paint the walls white and natural lay flooring. This Enables me to alter the colors and accessories as and when to I fancy.

What makes you happiest at home?

What do you love to do on Sunday afternoons?
Adrian and I usually drift into the Cotswolds for a late lunch or afternoon tea. It's great to get into the countryside and there are Few Things better than wandering around an area of outstanding natural beauty. I find it invigorating and inspiring, and I absolutely love living in this historic share of Britain.
