ABOUT

Maflingo [Flamingo, to grown-ups who can pronounce it] is a lifestyle blog, borne out of my desire to be creative and pursue my passion for writing after more than twenty years in an non-creative profession.

I have so many words to share about: interiors; money-saving; decluttering; organising; DIY; family life and randomness.

Hopefully there will be at least one person out there who wants to hear what I have to say, (Thanks, Mum!).

Enjoy your visit and feel free to get in touch...

I love to chat!
