Through The Looking Glass Picnic

28 Apr

We decided we wanted to have fish and chips for tea with a difference so with our thinking caps firmly on it was voted that we would create a ‘through the looking glass’ picnic in the woods. We got together what we needed and picked up chips on the way there… It was beautiful and although we had no Mad… View Post

Wizard of Oz Adventure

13 Feb

I decided that I wanted to do a Wizard of Oz themed birthday picnic in a crooked wood for Mila. I used as much as I could from around the house with the only expense being her cake which I had planned to be a simple white iced Christmas cake with a yellow brick road. Fortunately M&S had a beautiful… View Post

⭐️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.
