• Mesmerizing Sequins Pillow

  22-01-2017 20:27 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  I just can’t keep my eyes off these sequins pillows, don’t get me wrong I would never ever decorate my house with any of those pillows for everyone to see. But I would have a stash of different pillow models hidden away in the closet, which I will indulge in a sad moment. Touching, rubbing, running my fingers over them. And I already know it, every time I flip one of those little sequins plates chills will run down my spine. And I will feel a tiny bit better no matter how miserable I

  22-01-2017 16:37
  
  Fear for the world my unborn daughter would inherit spurred me to join the march but on the day I wanted to see more rage, more action, more chantingThe night before the Women’s March in DC, my best friend McKetta and I lay on the floor with her hand tucked under the waist of my maternity jeans, waiting for the baby to kick. Five months earlier, I’d gotten pregnant on purpose, and the nausea of my first trimester had coincided with the election. My husband and I found out it was a gi

• Nigel Slater’s dried fig and marsala tart, and clementine and ginger butter recipes

  22-01-2017 14:00
  
  Flip your baking over and make an impressive upside-down tart. Just be careful not to burn yourself…I like the idea of the upside-down tart, where the fruit is revealed, like a rabbit from a hat, from under its upturned baking tin. A classic tarte des demoiselles tatin perhaps, or maybe something of our own, a variation on the traditional upside-down apple tart. The original version, with its halved apples cooked first in caramel sauce on the hob, then baked under a puff-pastry base, is t

Otherwise, why take these backward steps, cutting services so that more and more women’s refuges are forced to close? Backward steps &nd

  22-01-2017 07:00
  
  The whale plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of the oceans, which means that these days it’s more a matter of the giant creatures saving usWhen the whalers of the mid-19th century harpooned the planet’s biggest marine mammals into near-oblivion, at least they took copious notes. These are now being used to better understand ocean science: if you enjoy a bit of historical ecology, you’ll find them atwhaling.oldweather.org.I wish whaling was all historical, but right

  Trade unionist Bill Ronksley recalls welcoming the famous artist to his city for a peace conference in 1950It was more than 65 years ago that I met Pablo Picasso off the train at Sheffield railway station, and it’s funny the details that stay in your mind when others fade away.The clearest thing I remember from that day is walking there – just three of us in this welcoming party – and the main guy reaching into his pocket and saying: “Well, Bill, since it’s Picasso,

  With careful planning, even an unpromising space can become a flat full of natural lightThere’s little need to discuss the difficulties in getting on to the London property ladder.
