I got about halfway through yesterday, when long-suffering sister e-mailed me to wish me happy anniversary. I nearly jumped off my seat; we had both forgotten again (we do so every year). It was too late to plan anything because we had a wedding to go to (who has a wedding at 4pm on a […]
This is my grandparents village. Our people originate from Kashmir (apparently) and before that from Palestine (that’s the most popular theory) where they came over in Muhammed Bin Qasim’s army to conquer Hind. They settled in the city of Sialkot, then about 150 years ago came to Jhelum, from whence they ended up in the […]
Getting cross-eyed from exhaustion as I write this, after a very busy, but satisfying, weekend. No guests this weekend was supposed to be mean rest, but as per usual, that doesn’t seemed to have happened.Spent Saturday visiting one of my closest friends who now lives in Mauritius, but was here with her beautiful little boy […]
I’ve been in Pakistan for four days now and it already feels like a lifetime, not because I am bored, but because of the sheer intensity of the experience. I think the words “sensory overload” would be an understatement. From the moment we left Allama Iqbal International Airport to travel home to Shalimar in Lahore […]

Despite my best efforts to find alternatives to television for my children (including not having one), Little Lady has developed a thing for all things female and Disney which has me worried. I know it’s not a big deal for little girls to like all things pretty, pink and princessy, but I am always concerned […]

We have recently acquired some very pretty, sparkly bracelets for our shop: Feroza. These are available in three cool shades: royal blue, teal and light green and are a steal at £3. All three are made from super sparkly glass crystals interspersed with silver-coloured roundels. The royal blue and pale green colour have a shimmering “aurora borealis” […]
One thing I love about my relationship about Little Lady is that we have great conversations. These are mainly about books, films, family, school, food and more books. But sometimes they are just about life and our perspective on things.One recent such conversation came about because she had been watching lots of hijab tutorials. I […]
