Wowzer, the lavender is reaching its peak at the moment and looking so beautiful with the white backdrop of the hydrangeas. The one and only good thing about the recent rain, the garden is looking lush!! #velveteenbathhouse #helmsley
Delighted to see the lavender back in the garden here at #velveteenbathhouse I was worried the combination of a wet winter and our clay soil would have damaged it but it’s back and absolutely thriving!
And relax… the view from our Ofuro Japanese Hot Tub.
Crisp country walks, cosy old pubs, tea by the fire. The antidote to January blues…
We spent an hour walking around York Minster this week. I’d forgotten how truly spectacular it is. An absolute must see if you’re in anywhere near York this festive season…
The Snug, a place to squirrel yourself away with a cuppa and a good magazine… The Velveteen Bath House, Helmsley.
The calming sound of a babbling brook and church bells ringing softly in the background. Autumn mornings in Helmsley…
As the sun lowers in October the kitchen floods with golden light… #velveteenbathhouse #helmsley
Thank you to the homeowners in Stokesley yesterday who opened up their gardens and gave up their time for people like us to have a good nosey in. What a perfect way to spend a summer’s afternoon. These busy little bees were enjoying all the beautiful flowers too. 🐝
