Warming to the idea of dried flowers? They were so 2020; this year it’s all about trompe l’oeil blooms. “I would normally be opposed to fake flowers,” says Amanda Cutter Brooks, author and owner of Cutter Brooks, a beautiful Cotswolds boutique selling impeccably curated homewares. “But these just don’t have that feeling, because they are exquisitely crafted and assembled.”
Brooks is referring to the playful paper creations by The Green Vase, which she sources from New York, of whose jaunty foxgloves (£170) and charming hollyhock stems (£180) her shop sold out in the run-up to Christmas. “They just light up a room and bring the inside in. I placed a giant order and they have been hugely popular. I think our customers love them for the same reason I do – they last forever and don’t require any care.”

A kitchen has become more than just a space in which to store and cook food. Modern lives dictate that they should be dining, living and entertaining spaces all in one – or as the past nine months has also revealed, somewhere with an interesting backdrop as you make yet another Zoom call from the multifunctional kitchen table.

Recently I was reading Dr Joseph Parker , one of the recognised great English preachers of the second half of the 1800s in London. A fascinating comment Joseph Parker made when relating to ministers was as follows: An un-tempted minister will never do us any good, and an untried one will talk over our heads.
I have often reflected on this as I for one would have been greatly blessed and enhanced in ministry to have sat under Joseph Parker s preaching and teaching.
Morling Seminary in the seventies, when I was there, had similar wisdom in its entry requirements. Candidates for Ordination needed to have worked in the real world for a minimum of five years before gaining acceptance into that theological college.
