Met Gala 2018 – Heavenly Bodies – Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.
By far my favourite fashion night of the year is the Met Gala. Each year it takes a theme that is either embraced or ignored by the glitterati of the fashion and film world which makes for memorable viewing for us mere mortals.

Jarvis of Philadelphia in the early part of the 20th century in the United States when she held a memorial service for her mother and started campaigning to make…

The pros and cons of open-plan living
Open-plan living is the perfect way to bind a kitchen, typically at the back of the house, with other rooms and the garden to create one large multi-functional and light-filled space. In recent years, open-plan living has become a popular option when redesigning and configuring a new kitchen design. It boasts a great number of advantages, including adding value to your home. Research conducted by the National Association of Estate Agents revealed that opening up space, and kitchen makeovers are within the top four home improvements that will add value to a property. In last year’s UK Houzz Report, which is based on survey results from the Houzz community, 54%…
