If weaning is upon you but you are so tired/ busy / working that you aren’t able to prep fresh food yourself – this is for you. These pots are cooked and frozen on the day so all the goodness is still in them. They deliver across London (and I looked at the price – so so reasonable!)

Katy Brennan – Oil Paintings

When Katy emailed me this week, I was totally bowled over by her beautiful pieces.

She is just in the early stages of starting a business of affordable oil paintings – painted by herself in an impressionist style and focusing on a variation of light and colour. Her business to date has come from commissions, working from photos that people have given her, which generally represent a very happy memory for them.
