An introduction seems the proper place to start.

Firstly, I am not at all a 1950's housewife. I have a full time career and don't like the concept of anyone supporting me. I dislike cleaning (but love it when my flat is magically tidy!) loathe ironing (my shirts are often left unironed for months and I go out of my way to buy things that don't require ironing) and seem to be unable to use bleach without staining whatever clothes I'm wearing.

But I find incredibly domestic and traditional activities relaxing and fascinating. I enjoy playing with my food and coming up with totally random low fat, healthy and delicious combinations (zucchini, carrot, banana and flaxseed smoothie anyone?)  I like baking delicious cakes (although I try to avoid that one because I also enjoy eating the cake...) And I'm in the process of mastering knitting (and already have a ridiculous stash of wool!)  Plus get way too excited about any space saving (we live in a tiny apartment in Brighton) or funky homewares (<3 cushions currently...)

So I decided to start this blog to capture my various domestic adventures, from recipes, to knitting, to whatever else strikes my fancy.
