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. There will no doubt be some mistakes along the way, but that’s part of the learning curve proving that anyone can do it. Sewing, oh yes there will be some of that too – we should all be able to do the basics (honestly how do people not know how to sew on a button?) oh and flowers and gardening for busy people, yes that’s important but I’m very much on the bottom rung of the ladder on that one still. 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… Like, Share, Sign up to receive our blog posts & Follow us on Facebook too.
