It's almost beyond my creative powers to imagine a universe where I have a big enough garden and the necessary capital to purchase a wood fired oven: reality keeps tapping on my brain and reminding me about mortgage repayments and childcare fees. But if you're lucky enough to be wading in a … [Read more...]
The Periodic Coffee Table
Since mentioning the words Periodic Coffee Table in my last post (The Geek Craft Book review) I have been inundated with people asking me “What? Where?

Treat yourself to a Wingdings font-inspired teacup
If the Mad Hatter was throwing a tea party for a bunch of techno bods, I reckon he’d probably invest in a few of these Wingdings inspired teacups from notonthehighstreet.com.

If … [Read more...]
Five essential shops to browse this Christmas
Christmas shopping is hell. Actually, scratch that. Christmas shopping on the high street is hell. Why on earth would you choose to spend several hours being elbowed, standing in mile-long queues before collapsing in a sweaty, tired mess under a bundle of panic-bought gifts. Just don't. You … [Read more...]
