The strapline of The Simple Things is “Taking time to live well” and it is a gentle read celebrating simple pleasures and slow living. In a world gone mad, increasingly we need to reconnect with life-affirming things like nature, creativity, home cooking, gardening, to keep us grounded and sane.

2019 got off to a flying start when Giggy & Bab stools were used to display products from fellow entrepreneurs at the marvellous StartUp 2019 event in January. It was brought to us by excellent small business network group Enterprise Nation, and it was jam-packed with fascinating talks, live interviews with inspirational founders, advice and resources for the aspiring entrepreneur. It was held in the beautiful surroundings of Bush House in Aldwych, once home to the BBC World Service and now part of King’s College London. A wonderfully inspiring and interesting day it was.
