Teenagers And Night Feeds

19 Aug

His bedroom exudes that teenage aroma. It resembles a squat on frequent occasions. It’s a breeding ground for cup and bowl fungus and the floor is a natural clothes horse… But it’s his space and he enjoys it. An upstairs pit that has become his gaming abode and sleeping ground for large chunks of the day…

Restoration realities... 🧡 Windowsil grubs, the Restoration realities...

He then made some fairy cakes and decorated them  to make a centrepiece dessert 🌸🧁

☺️ Really pleased at how the kitchen ceiling i ☺️ Really pleased at how the kitchen ceiling is looking! It’s been a long process insulating between the beams and putting up lining papering and cleaning down and waxing the beams but our hard work is starting to pay off and it’s looking beautiful. So many people advised us to cover the beams up as an easy measure but for us that was never going to happen, keeping the church as original as possible is our highest priority, it’s a stunning building, why change that? 
Our next job is to give the walls another coat of paint around the memorials we restored and hang the chandeliers central to the arches...then maybe we can think about building the kitchen 🙂
