The time finally arrived for me to get my little trug out (no innuendo intended), stroll up the garden and pick my first lot of vegetables! And lookie, lookie here! I've pulled the occasional few radish, but nothing like this, so I was over the moon. Although, I am still a bit disappointed because I… Continue reading My first ever vegetable harvest!

Five things Friday
Happy Friday! It's been a busy old week and office conversations have revolved a lot around the Royal wedding. I'm looking forward to seeing what Megan will wear; whatever it is, she will look absolutely incredible. Although I do feel bad for all the press around her Dad - there are daily articles on news… Continue reading Five things Friday
The Progress of a Novice Gardener
I've discovered a new found passion and it's gardening. When we bought our house last July, amongst all the dust, walls being knocked down and fireplaces being created the window ledges were full of pots with seeds. I just couldn't wait to start growing my own vegetables and flowers, much to the delight of the… Continue reading The Progress of a Novice Gardener
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

However, that's still three weeks away and… Continue reading 5 things Friday
My bargain upcycled table
Now I’m going to let you know that I’m feeling pretty smug about this one. Not only did I get the table for free, but I’ve got it (in my humble opinion) looking pretty awesome and didn’t cost the earth. A bit of the back story as to why I’m so obsessed with this table… Continue reading My bargain upcycled table
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
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
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
