I just took part in the #BigPlasticCount, UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste. Here’s what I found really happens to my plastic waste:

♻️13% recycled
🌍18% sent abroad
🔥45% burnt
⛰️24% sent to landfill

This is shocking, right?! @Jochurchill_MP @pow_rebecca

We need bees! So why has the use of bee-killing pesticides in England been allowed again? Noooooo! @derekthomasuk will you ask @DefraGovUK & @VictoriaPrentis to listen to the experts & @WildlifeTrusts & reverse this terrible decision?❌🐝☠️ #NoMoreNeonics

A lovely day out enjoying the ice-cream coloured houses in beautiful #fowey

Ok, so this is amazing. How can we design a better world from this crisis? Chatham House/London Design Biennale have an open call for ideas here: https://t.co/D6FCv3CKej I personally can't wait to see what comes out of this...

We're currently supporting 3 graduate start-up clients to hire workspace in the prestigious @CASTCornwall building, which houses talented upcoming artists in their professional studios. We can’t wait to see the amazing work they produce with these resources! #CreativesTogether

Journalists everywhere are being attacked or abused, not least by the US President

This is your regular reminder that most journalists are decent, public-spirited people, neither rich nor famous, who just want the truth. If you want to do without them, try living in North Korea

Um, excuse me - I'd quite like to sit at my desk and get some work done... No? You don't want to move? Oh, okay then...

Yay! Such a great shop.

A bit of prettiness for a Sunday...

@LittleGreene My dream garden! Loving that colour combination.

It has come to my attention that if you look me up online, the below summary box appears. Anyone got a clue how to find out where Google got this from and rectify it? I haven't retired yet, nor am I anywhere near. Meanwhile I'd better rest my old bones and have a cup of tea...

[Katherine Sorrell @K_Sorrell]

Just published! My feature on Blissful Bathrooms for the June issue of @EnglishHomeTeam. The gorgeous room you can see here was designed by @gordonduffL to have all the luxuries of a hotel, but with a more homely feel. Doesn't that sound like the perfect combination?

[Katherine Sorrell @K_Sorrell]

This film about the independent shopkeepers in Penzance, Cornwall, is delightful. Let's celebrate the skills and knowledge found within our local economies - and support them as much as we can.

One day...

[Katherine Sorrell @K_Sorrell]

Now that everyone's #workingfromhome I thought I'd share my little workspace. It's right by a window where I can see the apple blossom and watch the seagulls. I've actually been freelance for decades, but finally landed in this corner of our spare bedroom recently, and I love it!
