I blogged about this sorry looking front garden above a couple of weeks ago, whilst we were re-tiling the front path after a crap job when I first bought it 4yrs ago. Weeks of intermittent rain and shine this summer, plus decades of previous neglect meant a spaghetti junction of roots under the soil which constantly... Continue Reading →
The walls (and me) come tumbling down….
There are certain things universally accepted to give most girls what can only bluntly be described as the horn. Chocolate.... expensive shoes.... champagne.... diamonds..... money......

I'd just had a car accident and injured my back so was a lot more hands off than usual for quite a long time. Sometimes when things aren't done properly, it takes a while for the resulting...

How to use an old picture frame to make a hallway blackboard
Gone a bit potty with the blackboard paint this week and had great fun 🙂 After creating some blackboards with old kitchen doors, I found an old frame which had no glass, one of those things just waiting to come in handy, i.e. gathering dust in a corner. There was a spare wall in one... Continue Reading →
