Happy Birthday to our beautiful, intrepid 9 year old. Loving your plans of being a travelling artist / living in a van in 6 fields when you are not off exploring, and generally saving the world – if anyone can do it I think it might be you. xxx Acrylics work so much better than […]
So, it’s time… time to sort our shed out. We actually have a ‘shed-load’, all right a diary block full, of stuff…. After a super busy summer it all needs sorting out, but we are also going to have to let go of some treasures to get some space! We will be selling some of […]

Last weekend, before our Christmas Wreath making course, lovely Jayne came along with me and the boys, foraging for ingredients, (the girls opted for warmth and friends instead and played at Kirstin’s). We are really lucky to have The Downs on our doorstep, and although I feel like a proper mother saying it, whenever you […]
