Some photos from recent walks this weekend. If this is the first of my Photo Diary posts you’ve seen, this series is a way of sharing the everyday photos that I snap— quite often when going for a walk, or little details I notice at home. This series started off as individual images back in…

In Part 2 of this Edinburgh instalment of ‘HPH visits…‘ we are going to be heading slightly North of the city for a walk around Stockbridge. Stockbridge is the area I always choose to stay when I visit this part of Scotland + I stumbled upon it completely by coincidence around 5 years ago after…

It’s no secret that my big Monstera is my favourite houseplant here at houseplanthouse. I think I’m most drawn to the large green leaves + human scale of the plant which instantly brightens up a room + brings it to life. Even if you only have a few plants, a Monstera can become a stand-out…

Today’s post is the fourth in the ‘HPH visits…‘ series + we are jumping on that lovely train route I mentioned in my previous instalment (The Barbican Conservatory) + we are visiting Scotland! Virtually of course — we are still a way off any sort of travel here in the UK. If this is the…
