Happy New You

Garden on ice

Last year i set out on a healing journey and by implementing small changes into my daily routine i feel as though i am a healthier person both inside and out.
The New Year is upon us and we find ourselves searching the internet for ways in which we can get slim or do more exercise or change something about ourselves that we are perhaps not fully content with.
Dramatic change goals are short lived so by introducing viable goals with baby steps, i hope that you too can make changes for the better to your routine that last a lifetime. read more

Fireplace Decor

Our beautiful home was built in 1907 and boasts two grand fire places in both living rooms. They have recently been replaced with modern log burners to help with heating costs through out the winter but fortunately we are still left with most of the original features that fit within our country house style.

Our main gathering station is in the dining room where one of the fire places are situated. This area was bare for a while whilst we decided which theme to go with in this room. The area is fairly spacious and i already have a country dresser along with another side unit to display photographs, cookery books and china ware which i have collected from auction. I also have an enthusiasm for collecting quotes and they were beginning to swarm the radiators and clutter the dining table before we finally agreed to display them. We chose to display them above the fire place along with a chalk board calendar i purchased a few years back before my baby was born. read more

We rent. That’s what we do in this current climate and we probably always will. Whilst family members and friends are tucked up in their humble abodes, painting walls and making their houses into homes we will continue to make our own memories to keep not inside our own four walls but inside our minds.

Renting certainly has it’s perks. We have no commitments and we can live anywhere we choose. But this year sees another move. A fourth one for us as a couple and a third one for us as a family. We’ve packed, unpacked, uprooted and settled. Sometimes to experience a different part of the country and other times to be near family. This time we are moving on to give our Daughter a good education and upbringing in a small rural village. Somewhere we would never be able to afford to purchase a house but in the surroundings we can enjoy for the next ten years whilst our Daughter settles into school. We have found our forever house – a property that will always be available to rent but never to buy. read more
