What a gloriously sunshiney day yesterday was. It felt, for the first time, as though Summer really isn’t too far away…
Since London went on Lockdown (and even before as I was anticipating it) I have been on a mission to try to get the house and garden to be places that are as exciting and dynamic as possible for Izzy, so she really enjoys being there. (Because she’s going to be there a LOT).
When I was small, I dreamed of a Mud Kitchen. Somewhere to cook up stews for the caterpillars, make potions out of twigs and magic and create heavenly perfumes out of (dead) rose petals and rain water… so if you were to suggest that I am living out this fantasty vicariously through my daughter, you’d be 100% correct.
Please allow me to introduce you to the newest member of our family – the wonderful Mud Kitchen, by Moo Angel.


Moo Angel are a small business in Nottinghamshire, who deliver all over the UK. They make gorgeous products out of sustainably sourced timber, which encourage imaginative play, exploration and creativity.
And I could see Izzy’s brain whizzing at a million miles an hour yesterday, as she mixed this with that and poured water into her soup…
















And as the afternoon deepened, so did the sun and the heat… We took off her shoes and popped on her new sandals and sun hat (links below) from my local gorgeous family and lifestyle shop, WORD – it’s just down the road in Walthamstow Village and they’re now exclusively online and shipping nationwide…





The day was hazy and warm, full of fun and play and laughing and jumping…and we had frozen yoghurt ice lollies too.
If this is what lockdown is, then I am ALL IN.
(I’m obviously all in anyway. But days like this make it so much easier.)
A huge, ginormous thank you to Moo Angel, for their incredibly generous gift – it has completely transformed our garden into a wonderful playful and creative zone for Isabelle and I (and she!) couldn’t be more grateful.

Roll on Summer… stay safe, everyone.
And stay at home.
Love to you all.
