Rightyho… as per the umpteenth request – a blog is born! Hard to know quite where to begin but perhaps it really is a good idea to have a place to share the great learning curve of buying our little farmhouse built in 1625… From someone who should frankly have joined the Womens’ Institute at 10 years old rather than the Girl Guides, I will bring you recipes from the farmhouse kitchen, knitting patterns for busy people who are never going to be master knitters but want to have a go, and my learning to grow vegetables like a proper grown up rather than just in a couple of grow bags out the back of the house. Sewing, yes there will be some of that too – we should all be able to do the basics, oh and flowers and gardening for busy people, yes that’s important. Then there is the furniture restoration (DA sander will remain the very best Valentines’ present in the history of the world – thankyou dear husband who knows me so well), decorating and furnishing our almost 400 year old farmhouse as well as finding out about it’s history, life story and other general madness along the way. All whilst finding the time to go to work as well. What can I say, thank you for following me on the journey as it begins…
