The Midweek Meander & Links to Loveliness

What my home used to look like (you may be surprised, I was), a Med-inspired moodboard, the only colour combo I need and want right now, divine dinner plates, passata tins, and pretty summer dresses

‘Did my home really look like that?’ I whispered to myself incredulously after stumbling across some old house photos from many years ago. I’m not even sure why or how I came upon them; maybe I was mid-meander among the hundreds of photos of the boys as babies; a trip down memory lane I occasionally take if I’m feeling sentimental and want to marvel at the passing of time (whilst simultaneously depressing myself about how old everyone is getting, me included).

Anyway, these photos took me quite by surprise. There may even have been a little involuntary shudder, so alien were these images of my former home and former me it would seem, and so I’ll be honest, it left me questioning who I really was all those years ago…
