Another before and after. I’ve been sorting through old files on the computer and it’s been brilliant seeing just how much we’ve changed over the years. Funny how what felt so cool at the time can look so tired now.

Blooming love working with and creating thought out spaces.

Now I need to dig out an old photo of the farm shop....

Hasn’t our beautiful barn changed so much over the last few years.

It looked especially lovely this morning set up for an educational visit run by . Kevin always makes the space feel so welcoming for the school children.

From its early days to the space it is now, it’s been amazing to watch it evolve into somewhere that brings people together.

The barn can now host so many different events from conferences, gigs, parties, weddings, yoga sessions, workshops, educational visits and community gatherings.

What a lovely week we’ve had. and I have got a lot done. We’re pouring lots of energy into making our spaces feel more loved.

and Simon have 15 ewes left to lamb and one cow left to calf. Phew. They’ve done so well. Plus our Kate is having a hip replacement in a month, so it’s been a lot for her. She is incredible.

We have a couple of spaces left for exclusive campsite hire over August. Our field is the perfect spot for a family and friends get-together.

We’ve also had lots of new items arrive in the shop. The self-service shop is open every day from 9–5, come and take a look.

A cheeky bit of self promotion. but it's for a great cause and one close to my heart. I will be running Plymouth half marathon next month.

I am fundraising for PANDAS Foundation UK, a charity that supports people affected by perinatal mental illness. They provide vital help through helplines, peer support, and resources for parents struggling during pregnancy and after having a baby, making sure no one has to face it alone.

A few years ago, I never imagined I’d be here, training for a half marathon. After having my second baby, I went through one of the hardest periods of my life. I was very unwell, both physically and m
