It's Friday, it's a bank holiday weekend and it's sunny - how could you want for anything more? I've been signed off work this week due to having a viral infection and laryngitis, which has really knocked me about but I finally feel like myself again and by feel like myself, I think a glass… Continue reading 5 things Friday

Spring, where did you go?
As I sit here with laryngitis, feeling rather sorry for myself, rain pouring down, I'm wishing for sunny spring to reappear to make me feel better. And not only that, the sun will give everything in the greenhouse a boost! It was only a couple of weeks ago that I was sat outside, exposing my… Continue reading Spring, where did you go?
The Perfect Start to Winter
I'm sure you may be sick of seeing and hearing about the snow, but I cannot get enough of it! Funnily enough, I'm actually writing this post as I sit on train and try to thaw my frozen toes as the water has got through my very impractical boots. However, I still love it. There's… Continue reading The Perfect Start to Winter

5 things I’m up to this weekend
Happy Friday everyone! For some reason I'm extremely excited about this weekend, which has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that our wood burner has been installed and the fridge is full of my favourite wines and beers. Can I just say it is full, but I'm not the only one that will be… Continue reading 5 things I’m up to this weekend
We’re in!
It's been a whole week since we moved in our house, now our home. Our first home together and man alive, it feels good. Now I don't want to brag but we have heating (bar one radiator yet to be fitted in the kitchen), a bath, plaster in the kitchen (we have a ceiling!) andddddddd… Continue reading We’re in!

Sh*t just got real
GUYS. Our notice has been handed in, therefore that means that we have just over three weeks to leave our cottage and get our house in a live-able state. The vegetable patch is looking great - the plants are producing beans and peas, the potatoes and broad beans are growing brilliantly, and I'm not far… Continue reading Sh*t just got real
