Hey there, welcome!

Welcome to Sunday Sunshine! I’m Lou Archell, a photographer, blogger, traveller, and content creator. 

You may know me from Littlegreenshed, the lifestyle website I launched in 2010 that is filled with inspiration from travel destinations, style edits, interiors & flea markets to personal musings.

You may have discovered me on Instagram. Or, you may have happened upon this page via a Substack recommendation. Or from my previous newsletter incarnation. Anyway, I’m happy you are here!

What is Sunday Sunshine?

Sunday Sunshine is a dose of warmth on a grey day. It is for the travel hungry, the person who is looking for foodie recommendations, it’s for those who love to create an authentic cosy home.

It’s for those seeking wild adventures and also simple living.

For living seasonally, inspired by nature - but also in love with design and travel.

I’m a country girl at heart who happens to be living in the City (Bristol, UK) - Those who follow me on Social Media know I yearn to leave the big City to start a slower, more rural, pace of life.

My Instagram and blog reflect this, and through my Sunday Sunshine newsletter I hope to inspire and encourage you to live a joyful life where ever you are planted.
