I'm Editor @simplethingsmag and Co-founder @icebergpressuk. Some of #mysimplethings: Seasons. Growing stuff. Walking the dog. A plain cake

[Lisa Sykes @lisasthinks]

We’re hiring on The Simple Things - two new roles. Have a look at https://t.co/5vr0qyT2ZY and please spread the word too.

@BretteSember Email me [email protected] sorry I missed this earlier.

@LNER There’s not much the staff on the service can do as the train is packed. Maybe you need a old-school ticket in the seats system as back up? Or an IT dept that works weekends? And a more reliable food and drink supplier...

[Lisa Sykes @lisasthinks]

@LNER there’s a sign on the train asking how our journey is going. As you asked: It’s on time but no buffet at all on outbound train from London to Yorkshire and no seat reservations upheld on return. Not good enough at any price but especially not for £120 worth of tickets.

Infusing booze, thanks to the feature in #November @simplethingsmag Spiced orange whisky, ready for Christmas.

[Lisa Sykes @lisasthinks]

Autumn surely is the most painterly of seasons.

[Lisa Sykes @lisasthinks]

Bought a second-hand Agatha Christie (always an essential purchase) from @CarnBooks and realised, despite having 41 on my bookshelves, I am nowhere near owning her collection. Plenty more house parties to attend and murders to solve

[The Simple Things @simplethingsmag]

We’re feeling v pleased that our November issue arrived with subscribers this weekend wrapped in #bioplastic film made from potato starch. You can compost it at home or via green waste recycling. Nice. #plasticfree

[Lisa Sykes @lisasthinks]

I have @sipsmith, best in class coop salt & cider vinegar crisps and the inevitable smile on your face that comes with @bbcstrictly. #lifeisgood

[Lisa Sykes @lisasthinks]

Holiday reading. Very proud to be publishing these ⁦@IcebergPressUK⁩ at its best

...and in the morning, Jack’s beanstalk had reached the bathroom window.

Sat in my garden in shorts looking @simplethingsmag Christmas issues before our festive planning meeting next week. Living in the moment? Some irony there, I feel. Fancy a mince pie now though. #ChristmasInJuly

[Lisa Sykes @lisasthinks]

Risotto. Red onion, wine, stock, chorizo. Broad beans, model’s own. Top tea.

[Rachel Rowlands @rachrwlnds]

Finally home after a draining day... my @simplethingsmag has arrived with this message.
Sometimes we just need to be brave #mymantra

[Lisa Sykes @lisasthinks]

Football might be coming home but it’s down to #Thameslink whether I am or not. C’mon, get a move on.

[The Simple Things @simplethingsmag]

Open air art, 50s cardigans and cherry ice-cream cake. Oh and wise words from @orlakiely. Plus the best of your Happiness Patch designs. The July DISCOVER issue is now on sale.

[Lisa Sykes @lisasthinks]

On our way to #processions London to join the celebration artwork of what the suffragettes achieved. Here’s our banner.

[oh magazine @ohmaguk]
