Mygazines

Picture_027

Ooooh this is a moral dilemma if ever there was one.

On the one hand I am
so excited I could squash a grape and on the other, even just visiting Mygazines make me feel as though I am
browsing the aisles of a department store abundant with stolen goods. Yummy things the
shop owner wants me to stuff furtively down my trousers.

Mygazines is a
really rather wonderful concept: users upload the latest copies of their
favourite magazines, then others can, in the virtual equivalent of flicking
through a mag, sit in front of their computer screen and read the entire thing.
For free. Nada. Nowt. How strange is that?

Every magazine you can
think of is there: you can browse by magazine or article, and in a touch of
genius, save all your favourite article to your own folders, aka your
"Mygazines" for reading later. Tis a beautiful thing. Except….

Isn’t it the
publishing equivalent of daylight robbery? If only one person buy’s the mag and
the rest of us read it online, how will the publishing companies continue to
prosper and thus continue to bring us great writing and gorgeous photography?
And when all is said and done, propping a laptop on your knee just isn’t the
same as curling up in an armchair with the latest edition of Mary or Martha is
it?

And so my verdict is this: Mygazine is an astonishingly useful tool for
archiving your favorite articles online and downright fabulous for getting the feel of a
journal you’ve never read before…but there will always be a place, first and
foremost in my heart for the giddy excitement of hearing the soft thud of this
months Vogue landing in my porch.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on
Mygazine… Go have a play and then come back and tell me what you think…

The Miracle Morning

One of the criticisms railed at BrocanteHome in the Summer Survey was that it was too spiritual… that spirituality and self-help had no place in a blog about housekeeping and to that I have to say… phooey. If you want your brand of housekeeping delivered without the spiritual hoo ha, then there are literally thousands…

The problem with raising a child like Finn is that it is, all at once, enlightening, heartbreaking, hilarious and more often than not, downright bloody exhausting. While I can just about cope with the fact that he spends his days bouncing off the walls while other children colour in sedately and wonder where their next…

Fig.A. Here’s the thing Housekeepers: you  can keep  your clove  scented oranges and all your fancy festive fripperie. You can whistle for your stilton and port and tell your vintage paper chains to go take a hike.

Housekeepers Diary

Sun makes a person feels human. It makes housekeeping and sheer, just-because happiness feel possible. Sun makes all the difference and sun at the weekend is an extra special bonus. Today the sun is rather wonderfully slipping in and out of cotton wool clouds: one moment cracking the flags, the next playing hide and seek….
