“This is where I live and what I love: country houses, country gardens… and country cats”

About
Hello, I’m Charlotte-Anne. I live in the English countryside with my two daughters, Anouk and Bo, and three very large, very entertaining Maine Coon cats.
We moved to the country from London so that I could have more garden and the girls could grow up surrounded by green and beauty. I used to work as an editor in the fast-moving world of fashion magazines – Vogue, ELLE, Glamour, I did them all! See my work here – but now I combine days of glamour and glossiness with days of fresh air, fields and….mud.
This blog is a place for all the things I have to say and show that won’t fit on my Instagram. And to give you more of what you’ve seen and enjoyed on my feed – more country house, more country life, more country garden with a sprinkling of cats and my girls on top.
I hope that you enjoy it.
