Wilder Places Discovery Set, a journey through fragrance
There are places that stay with us long after we have left them. A wooded path after rain. Stone warmed by the last of the sun. The scent of earth underfoot, smoke carried on cold air, or fruit ripening as summer begins to turn. Wilder Places is a collection of...

When the air changes…
Why the changing season changes what we want to wear There is usually a moment when you realise that autumn has arrived. For me, it is often the swallows. All summer they are part of the garden, diving through the air and sweeping into the barn with such speed and...

There’s a different kind of openness to Keswick in the Lake District. Set between Derwentwater and the surrounding fells, the town feels both held and exposed, mountains rising on all sides, their presence constant, yet never overwhelming.

Visiting Dora’s Field in spring
Tucked away off the main road in Rydal at the heart of the Lake District is a hillside woodland. For most of the year, this place feels ordinary and unassuming, it’s easy to pass it by on a walk to Rydal Water. But from early March, this forgotten corner bursts...

A spring skin reset, a simple three-step ritual
After months of cold air, central heating and winter routines, skin can feel a little out of balance as spring approaches. Oil production may increase, dryness can linger, and what worked perfectly in winter may suddenly feel too much. Spring is not about starting over, but about rebalancing, listening to...

At the heart of the Lake District, a slower guide to the beauty of Ambleside
In our second journal where we give you an insight into our shop locations, we move north from the shoreline hush of Bowness to the steeper, slate-built heart of Ambleside. Here, at the top of Windermere, the town gathers closely around itself, tall grey houses, narrow chimneys, cobbled cut-throughs glistening...
