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.

I’m finding my latest craft extremely addictive- at a recent workshop I used Indian blocks to print the design onto fabric and have spent a couple of days (on and off) adding the graduated colours chain stitch embroidery- next up some beads, ti

And we’ve got the menus from our visit to @ricksteinrestaurants The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow back up on the wall - they’re feeling quite at home in the pantry. I was surprised when I checked the date though - our visit was on 30 Sept

A peek at my first #indianblockprintandstitch #paisleypattern - I printed several of these patterns together and am embellishing each in a different way, to try and see what works and what I like - and these sequins are a perfect match. Bonus was tha

This vase of daffs was a joy to come down to this morning with the sun streaming through their petals. It was frosty outside so the patio daffs were significantly less cheery! #daffodils🌼 #daffodils🌼💛😍

Loving our new @dorothy_uk Stamp Albums Post-Punk picture, bought after seeing at @roughtradenottm and framed by @arcadeframinggalleryshop 💛💛💛- we’ve even got it on the wall in record time for us!!

Well hello blossom 🌸 so good to see you and the sun, let’s pretend for a little while that this is spring proper, rather than nature teasing us with fool’s spring. #blossom #foolsspring #springiscoming

You can never have too much lichen, or that’s what I think at least 😃 Add in some red berries and bam, that’s nature doing its thing! #lichen #hawthornberries #nottinghamshirelandscapes

It was great to be out this morning with the blue skies and milder weather - we had a great walk and enjoyed the invitation to forage too! #foragewalk #winterwellbeingwalk

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.
