Blogging gets serious

Hello friends :)

I have been thinking a little bit recently about my blog and that I might add a little bit of structure to when and how I post. I am going to test this for a little while by posting each Tuesday and Thursday morning and including a Thursday feature about an artist or maker or generally interesting person I have come across recently.

February has been a little odd at Jones basecamp, change is in the air and I feel some routine might help keep me sane.

The shop is open

The Smallest shop is now open for business on Etsy. My website should be following shortly.

Exciting times.

Snow day

Back home now with hot chocolates and the last of the soot sprite cake pops. I could have done with these great boots by Finnish design house Company....

Snowy adventure

We introduced smallest to the snow this weekend with a wintery adventure up Loughrigg Fell in the Lake District National Park. She was like a tiny pink snowman by the time we descended into Ambleside, very cold with lovely red cheeks and nose. The fabulous Kieth at Bike Treks leant us a towel to dry her off and warm her up. She was so hardy, I was so proud!

Smallest sporting Goretex spotty otter - she blended in well with the rest of us in our adventure kit!
