I first wondered whether my daughter Lily was smarter than average when she was four. We were walking past this sign and she announced, 'That's my name with different letters!' It was her first anagram. These days she quickly gets the New York Times Spelling Bee pangram and plans to go on Countdown.

I’ve only gone and started a modern interiors website. Why? Throw enough mud at the wall and some of it will stick. Not literally of course. Especially not in a sexy multi-million pound house. Can you imagine what that would do to my interiors reputation?! arianesherine.substack.com/p/i-could-fo...

Showed the kids my new modern interior design site interiordesignland.com, full of dreamy interiors. Kid: You know that just because you post pictures of these houses it doesn't mean you're going to be able to afford to live in them? Me: Thanks, kid!

Behold, my brand new creative project! I used to be editor of the Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms website and really missed writing about interiors. So now I’m channelling my love of modern interiors and fun copy and have launched Interior Design Land. interiordesignland.com

I don’t know how I’d exist without people — art is meant to be consumed and my whole life involves creating things and then going, ‘Listen to my music! Listen to my podcast! Subscribe to my blog!’ So what would be the point of creating without an audience? arianesherine.substack.com/p/sometimes-...

I hate bothering people with 'listen to my podcast, PLEASE listen to my podcast!' It's annoying and it makes me lose followers as a result. But if I don't promote it consistently, it gets even fewer listens, and we're putting so much time and effort and energy into it, it's a shame.

We’re watching the 70 Up series in order and just watched 35 Up. I know this is speaking ill of the dead, and that Michael Apted was a genius and a visionary, but wasn’t he also a bit of a dick?
