Hi, friends! I’m Nicole Plowman, an American living in rural England. I live on coffee, am passionate about the colour navy, and firmly believe in celebrating with champagne just because it’s Thursday.
My family consists of my husband (and professional racing driver) Martin Plowman, and our two rescue pups, Grace and Tucker. The four of us were living peacefully in my home state of Indiana…
…Until my husband informed me we needed to move to the United Kingdom to fulfill an exciting new racing contract! In February 2017, we moved to a horse farm in a small village in rural England, and the cottage that has become our home is named Holly Tree Cottage (built-in inspiration, right there).
Outside of this blog, I’m a full-time Marketing Director at a large company and am especially career-focused. I own my own small business which is an interview and communications business focused on young women competing in pageantry, entering the workforce, and advancing their careers.
My goal here is to share these beautiful experiences and our new English lifestyle with each of you. You’ll see glimpses of each of my passions here:
- decorating our quaint English cottage,
- musings about the differences between my two countries,
- travel photos as we explore a new continent and also spend time back home in the US,
- career advice and tips for personal development,
- adorable dog photos,
- my love for pageantry and its relevance in a modern society,
- modern classic wardrobe photos.
I’m most active on Instagram; you’ll definitely want to give me a follow. So, in true British style, pour yourself a cuppa (or pop open that bottle of celebratory champagne) with me, make yourself at home, and welcome to Holly Tree Cottage!
Cheers! Nicole
