I love this set of photos I took of Wilbur years ago. He had just had his head out of the window of my black van. Me, him and mum drove to Dorset in it! Feeling the cool, free wind in my hair, life without care 🎶... Miss you little man 💔

Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my little Wilbur. My constant companion over the last 13 years. He had lymphoma and a heart murmur and was in great discomfort, so I had to make the toughest decision.
He was such a gorgeous dog, feisty, funny, cheeky, loving, my protector and my shadow. We went everywhere together.
I'm going to miss him so much.
Here are some snapshots of my wonderful life with him 🐶❤️🐾💔😭

Good Morning, it's Heather from Eclectic Chair. As you will already know I run the independent furniture shop Department Manchester on Barlow Moor Road in Chorlton. We’ve had a bit of a nightmare this week and have had to start from scratch with our Instagram account, which is a bit devastating for our business.

is our new account.

Instagram decided, with very little reasoning to suspend our account (it happens to a lot of people sadly). Two years of hard work to grow a following, and we obviously rely quite heavily on it for our business. It is a bit confusing, as we only really post pictures of furniture, but somehow that’s flagged up the Instagram bots and caused them to automatically suspend us. We now have to wait to see if our appeal will go through, but this could take months and months judging by other people’s experiences.
So we’re starting afresh. If you know us that’s the new account above, if you don’t and you’re fond of interesting mid-century, vintage design furniture, then give us a follow! Thanks everyone ###xx

I recently stayed in a gorgeous Airbnb in a converted stable in the grounds of Airlie Castle, which is a couple of hours North of Falkirk. The whole place was a wonderful experience, the interior was inspiring, all clad in local wood which gave it a cosy cabin vibe. It had a mixture of Shaker, Scandinavian and mid century style with a few touches of Moroccan. It's no wonder it's stylish because the current owners are a musician and an artist, he being the son of the 13th Earl of Airlie and the 14th Earl himself. However the current owners have really put their chilled out mark on it. We were able to roam the castle grounds as no one was staying there at the time. It was a really special Airbnb that would highly recommend visiting, it only sleeps 2 but is a perfect romantic getaway. Message me if you would like the link.
