The UK heatwave made way for a few days of rainy weather, but it seems as though we’ve settled in a sweet spot for the weekend. The temperatures are back in the low twenties, there’s barely a cloud in the sky, and Liverpool is looking great. For me the day looks like this - coffee and treats at Habitual, some of the city’s finest olives and Jazz at Petit Cafe du Coin, and as the evening draws in…a bottle of natural wine (Yetti & the Kokonut via Bunch in Liverpool) by the waterfront. But what to wear? As any listener of “the only podcast that matters”, Throwing Fits knows, a fit goes bot ..read more

Tylko

My interior style is not unlike my clothing style - I edge towards the minimal, with a focus on quality and details - so when I moved into my current flat a year ago, it was the large living space, with tall white walls and wood flooring that sealed the deal for me. I was coming from a small studio apartment and space was what I craved. From day one I knew I wanted to add some dark furniture to help add depth to the room and when it came to storage, Tylko was top of my list. It took almost 10 months and a very generous offer from Tylko* to get there but finally, the vision I have for this room ..read more

“Push the button and less than two seconds later, with a buzz and a clink and a whir, the oddly folded machine ejects a blank card. Ihe 30 seconds an image slowly appears, emerging out of a blue-green fog and becoming within minutes a fully developed colour photograph.” - from a 1972 LIFE Magazine article titled “Dr Land’s latest bit of magic”. Almost 50 years has passed since those words were written but even today, it’s hard to describe the Polaroid camera as anything other than magic. In December 2019 I picked up my first film camera. An Olympus Mju ii point-and-shoot 35mm camera found in ..read more

After months of being confined to walking distance of my house, it was about time to get into the city, grab some coffee, catch up with friends and escape to the beach while the sun’s still shining.

People’s Ford kindly let me borrow the all new Ford Kuga for the weekend as part of a paid campaign ..read more

I was supposed to be gearing up for a dream trip to the United States in June. The plan; a road trip that would take in San Francisco, Yosemite, Death Valley and ending up in Las Vegas for a friend’s stag party. As is the case for everyone else right now, those plans are temporarily on hold. Luckily, the team at Horizn Studios* have been helping me get my travel gear ready so that when the time comes, I’ll be set! Who are Horizn Studios?
