Grapevine Stories

Introducing Charlie Gray

We’re delighted to welcome Charlie Gray, founder of Ask Charlie How, as a regular contributor to The Grapevine. Charlie has built a loyal following for her practical, no-nonsense advice on everything from homes and gardens to everyday life hacks and clever solutions to those little problems we all encounter. Each month she’ll be sharing her tips, recommendations and expertise with Grapevine members — helping us all make life that little bit easier.


Getting ready to go on your summer holiday?

So to kick off our new collaboration with Charlie, she has a brilliant list, helping us get organised for a holiday this summer.

This is a tiny snippet of really helpful guides and lists and advice from her book, you all might like to get called, Through The Seasons.


With warmth and gentle wisdom, Charlie guides you through twelve months of simple pleasures - with recipes, seasonal home remedies and practical advice for the home and garden.
