It’s been 12 months since we moved back to our freshly renovated farmhouse. Boy does time fly! Not a day goes by where I don’t feel so lucky to live in a beautiful light-filled house. It feels both very new, and also like we have always lived here. Talk about a paradox! Life really has…
Country Life
Lately | June 2018
Loving: Cooler days – at last. We have the fire going day and night now, and although it produces a lot of dust, you cannot beat it for a beautiful warm house! Watching: The Crown, and all the David Attenborough documentaries we can. We finally have enough data to be able to use Netflix so I…
Autumn Glory
At long last, it is cold here! The fire is going 24/7 and the farmhouse is cosy warm. Outside, the trees have suddenly turned colourful and are scattering their leaves. On Friday it was snowing (!!) on the way to work, and we’ve had a little rain at the farm; though heaven knows we need…
Good Things

Full And Thorough Holiday Reporting

Taking Stock | January 2018
Summer holidays really are the best time of the year. We’ve had Christmas at the farm with all my family, followed by a week up the coast with them again. Now we are home and enjoying some downtime. I’ve had some breathing space which has got my brain ticking over with lots of different ideas…
Happy Christmas
As I write, I’m sitting at the bench of our farmhouse kitchen, and reflecting on how much has changed this year. Twelve months ago, this bench didn’t even exist. We were madly packing in an attempt to move out of the old house ready for the renovations to start. Now I’m sitting here in our dream…
Big Things and Little
I’ve been trying to get back to the blog for what seems like forever. School holidays seem to be my most creative times, mainly because I actually have a little time to focus on things other than the essentials. I seem to go on about slow living, but I’m not always great at actually slowing…
