When I first met Adam we realised that we shared a mutual love of one particular hobby – cooking. Whereas the difference was that whilst I love to bake and know most hearty family favourites by heart, his passion and skill lies in Asian cooking. Give the boy a curry, spring roll, fried rice or stiry […]
The Inexplicable Magic of Glastonbury Festival
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to go to Glastonbury Festival. I’ve even been offered the option of buying a guest ticket from my friends for the past four years, and four years in a row something major has come up to stop me going. 2017 however, this was NOT going […]
Recipe || Chocolate Chilli Cinnamon Celebration Cake
Before I begin, I’d like to announce proudly that this is the biggest cake I have ever made! I was requested by my great friend Sally for her 30th birthday weekend celebration, and she asked for these precise flavourings. Chocolate, tick, chilli, tick, cinnamon…what?! We’ll excuse her as shes’ spent a lot of time in […]
Lovely Things || June 2017
You may have noticed that in June 2017, I was a very slow blogger. In fact, possibly the slowest month since the beginning of Wooden Window Sills! However, as much as I can beat myself up about barely managing one post a week, there is very good reason! In fact, I’ve had one of the […]
Festival Survival Kit – The Essentials
When you’re packing for a festival, there are so many things to consider. Especially, if like me, it’s your first big festival, you’re going for 6 days AND it’s Glastonbury! Alongside the obvious things such as a tent and sleeping bag, I’ve put together a list of useful things to consider that I definitely would […]
Never Stop Dating
Four and a half years on, Adam and I are still dating. I mean, we have been together long enough, live together and have bought a house together, but that doesn’t stop us going on dates. Do you ever feel like you get into the same old habits in your relationship? Nights in become far […]
A Little House Update
After my teasers of the new house so far, lots of people had asked when I’d be sharing the inside, and so in amongst the brilliant chaos of visitors and trips out and about that we’ve had recently, I set about determined to take some decent photos of the internal rooms that we’re now so […]
Lovely Things || May 2017
May May May, how you’ve tempted us with such bright and sunny days, followed by weekends of cloud! Another month of many things, all the DIY, and visitors galore. There will be no complaints that I haven’t managed to get much done or see many people as we’ve been chocka block with friends coming to […]
Recipe || Homemade Pork Pie (+ GIVEAWAY)
Today’s recipe is for a homemade pork pie. Well, in fact, two homemade pork pies. I was actually making these for one of my colleague’s husbands in place of a birthday cake for him. You might remember that for Adam’s birthday, I made him the very same thing, and seeing as Steve is also more […]
The Art of Modern Calligraphy
I’ve always wished I was better at art. My family are all incredible artists, with my Mum being a fully trained potter and artist, my Dad a photographic scientist and web designer, one brother a graphic designer and illustrator, and the other a novice potter. Me? I’m none of these things. If you asked me […]
