January is often perceived as a dull, grey post -Christmas blur. Its winter haze is the tunnel before the spring, but we don't think you have to wait until the slightly longer and warmer days in order to appreciate nature, in fact, the very essence of Houseplant Week is to bring life into your home, and inject with colours that inspire and uplift.

It's all doom and gloom, however a positive start from what we are seeing.
It's highly likely that you or someone in your family has had to work from home at some point in the last few years. Most bosses have realised that, without the chit-chat and distractions of the office environment, productivity is actually higher. But it isn't practical for you to work from the end of the kitchen table permanently.
We all do it. Every year we overfill our schedule in the run-up to Christmas. Children's school commitments, staff parties, gift shopping - there's just so much to do. If you are considering moving house, there is a strong chance that it is not a particularly urgent move, and you will push this to the AFTER Christmas category.
Nativity plays, shopping, present wrapping, and staff parties. It's all go in the run-up to Christmas. There is so much going on at this time of year. Preparing for viewings on your property, on top of everything else, could be enough to send you over the edge!
If you're trying to sell your home, you might wonder what to do around Christmas time. Should you take it off the market for a month or so? Or try to juggle the viewing appointments around your other commitments?
The tree is up! this can mean only one thing! It's time to announce our Christmas appeal!
