Shelley and I have a very clever little brother, Myles, who is married to a beautiful Irish girl, Jane. Together they run a cafe called Shells on the Irish coast near a town called Sligo. This clever duo have recently launched their first cook book - the surf cafe cook book, which looks amazing and I can't wait to get my hands on one! They asked me to do a few illustrations for the book and they incorporated some of my existing ones - it seems the whole lot has come together beautifully. The book was launched last week and is available to buy here. These two live the dream - they surf, skateboard, snowboard and make a living by doing something they love. Well done Myles and Jane, Shelley and I are so proud of you!

You're so right. It looks amazing and they sound fabulous and look like a fun couple to boot. I particularly love the name of the cafe. I loved the video Shells posted awhile back. You have all landed on your feet so well. Your whole family is inspiring and amazingly talented. GBU x

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
