When Calibre Office Furniture got in touch and invited me to write a post about my favourite colour I thought I'd got it sorted.

I mean, anyone who's seen my instagram feed lately - or who knew me as I grew up - won't be surprised to learn my first choice of colour was yellow.

The year of the shelves has resumed here with these shelves behind the pantry door which are just perfect for herbs and spices. Chamfered edges too, and all made and installed by MOH. #pantrygoals😍 #pantrygoalsachieved

What glorious colours #autumn is treating us with - this is the #tuliptree at @beltonestatent when we visited yesterday. The tree will be pretty much the same today, but I’m sure it won’t look quite so good against today’s grey skie

A cheery #wallflower at @standennt this afternoon in the unseasonably warm weather! Can’t wait for my ‘Chelsea Jackets’ wallflowers to flower - it can’t be too long now!

Finally I’ve managed to see the Northern Lights and from our doorstep - how amazing are they, even with the lamppost?! #eaststoke #nottinghamshire

I loved our trip to Glasgow - we were only there a few days, but we packed a lot in and I’m sure there’s much more we could have seen. I’ve saved the stories from the visit on my highlights so pop over there and take a look, and in

Cycled into Newark today to watch stage 6 of the Tour of Britain, also managed to get my brakes fixed while I was there as they weren’t releasing properly, which made it all much harder than it should be. This year the race was a little bit mor

This little succulent seems happy in its new pot - it was growing tall so I cut its top off and stuck it in some soil. The pot doesn’t have drainage so I only water it occasionally, but even so it’s still growing!

For #worldembroideryday here’s two of my three green and yellow insects. I’ve embroidered over the #indianblockprinting test prints which didn’t work out so well, but using the same colours as the ink - the #embroidery is more succe

Weeds can still be pretty - though I prefer to admire them when they’re not in my garden!! They have some cracking names too - this one is Tansy Ragwort aka as Stinking Willie. I spotted this one, whatever you call it, on a walk around the lane

But then I thought about it some more and remembered when MOH and I got engaged several of my friends said they just knew I'd have a pink ring - I have a pink sapphire in my engagement ring - which shocked me, as I didn't even really know that's what I wanted until I saw it. But they were adamant and said pink was obvious as it was a colour I wore a lot. Looking in my wardrobe at the time - and now - they were right, but I knew that I didn't wear as much pink as some, so that was perhaps my benchmark.

And then I thought about green, it's a colour I'm often drawn to and (along with pink) it's a colour I wear a fair bit of. And red, we do have a lot of it in our house, despite persuading MOH we shouldn't have red dining chairs (which btw I still don't have an ETA for - not so happy about that).

So what is my favourite colour.

I've decided that I am simply a fan of colour. I wear colour everyday. If I wear an all black outfit then well I feel, well I just don't feel myself. I guess I'm just used to me in colour.

And looking back this week I outdid myself on colour one evening; I needed to drop my bike down to the bike shop to get my brakes checked before our Easter cycling break. For this I wore red trousers, matched with pink and cerise striped socks, the orange vest I'd worn during the day with a purple and lime green running top over it; to top that - and to keep warm - I chose a white sweatshirt, because it was getting dark and I wanted to be seen! When I realised quite how many colours I'd combined - mostly through circumstance it must be said - it was the white top that I thought might have been OTT!

But if you pushed me to choose one colour, right now I'll stick with yellow.
