The chickens were a great help the other day when we were cleaning out the chicken house. Who knew they could drive the quad?

It’s been a christmassy weekend, with the Fordingbridge Christmas lights switch on, the Village Christmas fair, festive storytelling in the Cranborne Earthouse (thank you ) and the wonderful Panto in the pub at the newly refurbished . There is always so much to do around here at this time of year! We still have availability this New Year in case you fancy a winter escape to the forest 🌳

Just finished the website and set up the new payment system for our lovely Cornish bolthole 😊
If you ever fancy travelling to the place where the skies are huge, the weather always surprises, and the views can make you gasp… take a trip to Cornwall, and stay in our perfectly positioned gem, close to the ‘seven bays’ and Padstow. 😊🌊☀️🏖️🌸 link in bio 👍

At last the window seat is covered! I got out my (rather dusty) sewing machine and decided to have a go and I’m really pleased with the result! One more job ticked off the never ending list! 🎉

Blue Hydrangea!! I’ve always longed for one of these, and now we own one, and this year they are in fine bloom. I tried the old ‘boiling water trick’ to help them last, and so far day 3 and still looking fresh and they feel nice and springy, hurrah! ***s

I think one of my most favourite things to do is to ‘faff’ in the kitchen (I did just check the urban dictionary to be sure my definition of faff is the same as theirs 🤣). Anyways… with these new shelves Mr Hometotheforest has installed for me, I can faff to my heart’s content, rearranging all the stuff, often. 🤣🙌 Anyone else like a faff?

These forget me nots are looking beautiful in the little jar we dug up in the garden of our last house during lockdown. I wonder if when it was made, they could ever have imagined it would be displayed on a kitchen windowsill 105 years later! Swipe to see it ‘as found’.

Good morning! I don’t think I’m ever going to get bored of coming down to this… very soon the patio will be laid and I cannot wait 🤍 Thanks for your amazing vision 🤍

Loving the spring feeling! Our little orchard is blooming and I’m hopeful we might get the odd bit of fruit this year, including the two fig trees which were grazed completely by the deer before we managed to fence it 🫣

20/04/2023

And we have light! These beauties are finally fitted in the new extension, I love the airy feeling and the natural materials really help to link this space with the outside. Things are moving fast now in the kitchen/ extension, and after months of gloom and dust I’m loving it!

I love our small (but perfectly formed) downstairs cloak. The shower in here is currently our coat cupboard while we use the utility as our main kitchen, but hopefully not for too much longer! Thought I’d also tag some products in here in case it’s helpful. Happy Friday!

Our master bedroom suite is soooo nearly finished! The carpet fitters are due tomorrow morning, and then we can finally move back in! When we left this room it was so cold and drafty my hair moved in the breeze with the windows shut, the en-suite had mouldy carpet, a leaky toilet, pink tiles and a very funky smell, and we could only dream of a dressing room, and now, well you’ll see tomorrow😊 I’m so happy, grateful and exhausted 💤 We did it! 🙌

26/09/2022

What a difference! We have been in our new home for 9 weeks now, and the upstairs landing is close to finishing 🙌 we still need door k***s (fitted later this week) and a new carpet, but the bones are done! It’s very rewarding to see a plan come together!

I’m wondering if this will be the last pizza of the season? We ate them outside on Sunday evening, such a lush day, and Steve makes the best pizza!

Discarded shoes litter the entrance through to the kitchen! Eventually we are thinking of turning this door into a cosy window seat, but for now I’m really enjoying the easy access it gives the boys to the garden, and all the discarded shoes and muddy footprints that brings! 💙💙

Two weeks yesterday we moved to this beautiful farm house! There is lots to be done, but we are so blooming happy to be here. All the house moving gods aligned to make it happen, and although it was THE most stressful move of our lives due to circumstances out of our control, we are in and happy as pigs in 💩 Now the fun really starts!

18/06/2022

Oh the flowers! 🌸🤍

19/02/2022

What a storm! Glad to say we got through without too much damage, and today you’d never believe it had ever been so windy. What a difference a day makes!

This cheeky elf is driving me mad! I had to get up extra early this morning to ‘check’ he had moved positions, and now I’ve discovered this app I have a feeling the boys will want video updates every day too 🤣

It’s officially pumpkin time! These beauties, along with 5 more were growing self seeded in the chicken run. They do say chicken p**p makes the best fertiliser!

20/08/2021

So my morning started with a healthy dollop of pony p**p 😆 Take a look at my reel to see how this ended up on the front lawn! On the plus side the roses will love it! **p
