Today the 10 year old was given a bag of panel pins (£1 from the builders yard), a hammer, a pair of secateurs, a tree stump and a string of battery operated fairy light. She decided she was going to try her hand at making a tree stump fairy house.

⭐️Tonight’s sky is filled with stars above the church.
💐🌱 The flowers are enjoying the moonlight too (I took a photo with my iPhone) 
Rock n roll on a Friday night walking through a graveyard. 
But it feels perfect 🙂 
Today we came up with a lovely plan for the organ 🐭 (Don’t worry the organ is a treasure to us and the church so it will only involve restoration and complimenting)

Kitchen floor update...slowly but surely 🙂 Once Kitchen floor update...slowly but surely 🙂
Once set we can start on the pew wood seating booth, get the pipe work in and start building the kitchen. 
The kitchen sink will sit below the window. 
Where I’m standing will be a doorway that steps out of the living pod and into the kitchen.
We have chosen not to have any under flooring heating in the kitchen as we wanted to maintain the wonderful natural feel of the building, it’s a pretty ambient temperature so if needed a fan heater will do the job. The feel of the stone beneath your feet is very grounding. Hopefully it will make for many happy hours spent washing dishes.
