The life and times of three
love mad Tree bloggers!

Spring is in the air, let’s put it in your step too!

Victoria and Albert, Buckingham Palace is celebrating one of the greatest love stories ever to have blossomed on Britain’s shores, that of our past monarch.  This exhibition is meant to be inspiring because their passion is almost palpable in the displays: This couple really had a fire in their belly for one another:  Art & Love

Memorable dates?, several of you won a free trip to Paris through a competition we mentioned, so try your luck again.  You can win a free dinner for two at the Firehouse, a fancy foody favourite in South Kensington.  Just tell them about your most memorable date, it doesn’t have to be one through SIAT…!:   Memorable Magic Read the rest of this entry »

Having met well over 1000 singletons for a lot of tea and way too much cake, we can safely say that we have a good idea of what your average 20/30 something is looking for in their ideal other half.  I thought I’d share some of our insights, seeing as you might find them surprising – we certainly did.

Yesterday I read an article by Dawn Porter in this week’s Stylist Magazine, on the subject of female breadwinners; basically highlighting the trickiness of embracing the empowerment of women and balancing this with our more traditional, stereotypical urges.  (Fellas stay with me, I promise this will get useful).

She was driving at the fact that yes, we’re all about independent women, but that those same women love it when a man takes the lead.  Are these double standards?  Well, yeah, they kind of are.  But doesn’t that indicate that actually, we’re all guiltily gagging for a bit more balance as far as equality is concerned?

Hello there Tree-dwellers,

The recent article in the Metro, coupled with the kind praise and endless forwarding from our friends, has resulted in a hive of Tree populating activity.  We ruddy well love it we do!  Thank you, thank you all for spreading the word.

This gorgeous wave of applications has got me pondering very specifically about people’s profiles.  Needless to say, a key part of anyone’s calling card these days is their photo.   Thinking about my own choices for photos has sparked some guidelines, which I hope you find useful.

St Martin in the Field Carols, if you´re still feeling a bit bah humbug about the twinkly lights and Santa´s grottos, this is one place that we guarantee will get you in the mood. Whatever your faith (or lack thereof), there´s something marvellously magical about sharing some songs by candlelight.

Treehouses, as you know, we love them. They make us nostalgic for the mischievous, carefree days of childhood. Sadly London, currently, doesn´t have any on the market or we´d definitely move in. But if, like us, you enjoy escaping on more original holidays, you might like to check out this inspiring site.

We are what we do is totally up our street. Without wishing to sound too hippy, we´re with Gandhi on the change you want to see in the world thing. If everybody started thinking: if I don´t do anything, I can´t make a difference rather than what difference can one person make? we´d all be a bit happier and the world would truly be a better place. Tell us which of all the tips you pick to do.

Couch-surfing is for those of you who like to travel a bit differently. The concept´s crazy, but it´s great fun and attracts like-minded individuals, so it can lead to solid friendships. Next time you´re going somewhere alone and want to get to know the real soul of the city, try it.

Tom Hart Dyke sits in trees all the time. He really does. He´s a world famous botanist, who loves flora so much that he got kidnapped for nine months in Colombia when looking for an undiscovered orchid to name after his Granny (for the amazing account of his experience and subsequent escape read The Cloud Garden).
