We have several rest spots around the farm where we and our guests can stop and take in the views over the paddocks, farm and wider countryside. This is our latest seat, a cozy arbour.

Looking forward to running this workshop in September.

Just got the paint matched to our new under sink unit to paint this cute little dresser top to match. This is for our shepherd hut build that will be another accommodation for our glamping retreat.
This hut was started a long while back and although the structure was built the project was put on hold due to many reasons. It’s great to see it out of the barn seeing the light of day. We had some help push it on a bit with the floor, wall panels, fitting windows and doors, fitting the bed, worktop and sink unit. Lots more to do, the bits you don’t immediately notice, installing the stove and flu, replacing some glazing, solar electrics, plumbing, gas etc, all the finishing touches and painting.

I absolutely love the stained glass windows at each end. They were a reclaim find from years ago.

The horses are managing to find some greenery. We wanted to reduce the reeds and they have done a pretty good job.
