What do you think about our pull out table?
We've made this from an old table we bought secondhand and sanded it back.
It's on heavy-duty runners and will comfortably seat 5 people.
Who's coming for lunch?

If you’ve ever taken on a big project, you know there’s a lot of emotions that come with it.
At the beginning, we’re full of excitement at the possibilities.
Then you hit a long period of despair when no matter how hard you work, things don’t seem to get better, and often get worse.
Then all of a sudden, that all changes and things start going back together and you take some big steps forwards. We are here now! And it feels amazing!

A quick bus-date.
It’s been two weeks since we last cut anything off the the metalwork. We are finally at the stage where things are starting to go back on. We’ve even started talking about paint but we’re still a few weeks off yet.

🔥🔥🔥🧯🚒 is there a big fire in the Orchard?
No this is just an extremely beautiful sunrise captured last week.
Can you describe it with just one word?

The days are getting shorter, perfect excuse to light the fire pit, get under a blanket and chill out while watching the stars

🙋🏼♀️ Hands up if you’ve had the fire or heating on this week? The colder nights have definitely arrived.

Stargazing anyone?
We have so little light pollution (or pollution of any kind) the sky is beautiful on a clear night.
It’s lovely to just have the time to stargaze.

The distressed look, love it or hate it?
We actually hadn’t planned to go back to a distressed look when we repainted the cupboards the this lovely bold teal, but it just seem to hit too much of a punch.
When we sanded it back, it’s nice to see is the old purple showing through, both colours compliment each other and softens its appearance.
So back to the original question. Do you love or hate the distressed look?

The Apple Crate got its name from the surrounding Apple Trees. These are beginning to bloom and look lovely in the afternoon sunshine. If you look closely you can just see the Apple Crate.

Is there a better way to end a day than sitting by the fire, watching the sunset and listening to the river flow by? We might of even toasted a couple of giant marshmallows.
Bliss 🥰

🚎 Camper van progress 🚎
You know the part of a lot of projects when everything looks worse than where you started? Well that’s the stage we’re at now.
We’re currently cutting all the rust away and buying or fabricating new parts so it’ll be rust free. We’re making sure it’s in really good shape so it’ll last for years to come.

We have a new project 🚎
We’ve bought bus which we plan to transform in a camper with our unique twist.
The bus is a Mercedes Benz Vario 614 and was born in 1999. There’s a lot of work to be done but we hope to be able to drive it to France in July for my sisters wedding.
Wish us luck
