Recently, P introduced me to Raindrop, a web extension that organises everything into tidy folders. In it, there is a folder where I keep TIG article ideas and that's where I remembered the home of English designer (and son of the late Terence Conran), Jasper Conran's, home in Bridport, a market town in Dorset, England ...

AT THE BEGINNING of the summer, P & I bought folding bikes and on every sunny day over the past few weeks, we went on as many bicycle rides along the English countryside as we could, often ending up in charming, cosy pubs, places with names like The Wallace Arms and Rose & Crown; The Black Bull and Robin Hood. On one trip, our longest, we went from the city all the way to the seaside ...
I AM NOT sure why―when it happens every year―I am so unprepared for winter. The cold. The dampness. The continual overcast skies. And most of all, the darkness. Yes, the days have been, happily, incrimentally longer every day since winter solstice, but tonight, the sun still set 4:17pm. 4:17pm! On Sundays, everything moves a little more slowly ...
I'VE HAD THESE PHOTOS of Plum Sykes' home in the Cotswold Hills saved since it was featured in Vogue in the fall of 2016, while we were still living in the city, and long before we ourselves moved to a similar life in the English countryside ...
MORE BEAUTIFUL English countryside inspiration for the weekend, from grand castles to cosy thatched roof cottages, from Dorset to Devon, the Lake District to Cambridgeshire, a story in photos of some of the most beautiful places in Britain...
Recently, had told you about our trip from Spain to the south of France, Scotland and the English countryside in late May, early June. It was during this trip that we fell in love (again) with the countryside and thought it might be time to do something completely different than we've done before.
IN LATE MAY we went on holiday to the south of France for a few days, and then to Scotland for nearly a month. During that time, we ventured to England on day trips, and it was during this time that we fell absolutely in love with the English countryside and thought it might be fun to have a look at places that might be available in any one of the very quaint and utterly charming villages and towns we found along the way...
THIS INSTALMENT of Weekday Wanderlust is actually a continuation of our 10 Images With series, which focusses on the Instagram photography of those whose accounts that have caught our eye.
YOU MAY HAVE CAUGHT GLIMPSES of writer Amanda Brooks' idyllic farmhouse on Instagram. Brooks and her husband, painter Christopher Brooks, left New York City in 2012 with their two children, Coco and Zach, for what was meant to be a year-long retreat at his family’s 1820s farm in Oxfordshire, England, and haven't left since . . .
A little slow with the updates, this week, I know–(sometimes there are not enough hours in a day). When I’m feeling a little overwhelmed, I think about donning my wellies à la Kate Moss at Glastonbury, or Marina Hanbury (although I probably wouldn’t wear them with a see-through evening gown) and head to the English countryside, the perfect place for repose . . .
BECAUSE WE SOMETIMES post photos of our life lately, Instagram's algorithm has thrown many such similar images across our path, which is sometimes annoying and sometimes wonderful if it leads to the discovery of accounts such as @irenemylife.
OUR LIVING ROOM in the English countryside has those charming wood ceiling beams that you would expect in a cottage in the countryside. And since moving here, my décor tastes have moved, understandably, in the direction of farmhouse and countryside styles...
As memories of summer fade and autumn slowly gives way to winter, it feels natural to want to curl up somewhere warm and cosy, preferably beside a fire with a good book. And what better place to retreat than to a storybook cottage complete with thatched roof nestled in the English countryside?
. . . there’s something about the crisp early morning breezes of September that always reminds me of the countryside...
