Charlie William Clensy has arrived

Delighted to announce that our second son Charlie William, arrived on Friday evening - just one day after his due date.

He weighed 8lb 0.5oz, and is just as blond as his brother! We are all well, and Charlie is doing fine.

Please ignore the spam email

Within the last 24 hours my email account has been hacked and has sent out a spam message to all contacts telling them I am in the Philippines and need money. Don't send money, I'm not in Manilla! I have changed the password for my email account, so hopefully this won't happen again. Clare.

Stitch magazine

I am featured in the Feb/March edition of Stitch magazine, in the "Few of My Favourite Things" slot - in which, funnily enough, I get to talk about a few of my favourite things - everything from Cornwall to wrought iron, from Betjeman to sweet peas.

Looking ahead, the March/April edition of the magazine will feature my Rustic Rooster project - which is available to order on my website, either as a full kit or as a materials pack to accompany the instructions in the magazine. That issue of the magazine is out on March 28.
