Hold the phones, people. It's September 1st and for me that means Autumn has arrived! Autumn truly is one of my most favourite times of the year and instead of listing 20 things about me, I'm going to list 20 things that are incredible about this brilliant season. I tried to write a post on… Continue reading 20 things I love about Autumn!

Renovation Realisation
Perhaps somewhat naively, I was optimistic and even excited about the work we were going to undertake to turn our unloved house into our beautiful home. However, there have been many things that have gone wrong, things that we hadn't accounted for and things that have held us up. We knew there would be issues… Continue reading Renovation Realisation
Unintentional Demolition
Hello happy campers! Just thought I would provide you with an update on the house. So great news, building work commenced yesterday, YAY! Not so great news is that they started work on the utility room - their aim was to damp-proof the room, brick up one door, create an internal door and move the… Continue reading Unintentional Demolition
Bird Nerd
I am a HUGE bird nerd! I've always loved birds, especially birds of prey and ever since I met my handsome one, he reignited that love as he feels very much the same. We really are two peas in a pod. We had last week Friday off, which was brilliant as all we want to… Continue reading Bird Nerd
Where to start…

Now whilst not exchanging today might not seem like a big deal, because you can always do it… Continue reading We’ve exchanged!

Elderflower
I don't know if it's just me, but has anyone else been aimlessly walking past elderflower plants for years without realising what it was? I stumbled across this gorgeous, scented flower whilst walking Bella one morning and ever since then I've seen it everywhere! Elderflowers don't last very long and I was given some advice to pick… Continue reading Elderflower
Our beautiful Bella
A way for you to get to know me better is to know how much I love this face. We have always known we wanted a dog together, but we didn't want to rush getting one and our main priority was getting a dog that would be happy with our lifestyle, as we both work… Continue reading Our beautiful Bella
