It feels like it's been a while

I am thinking about our home. It is currently doing a great job of housing our young children. All piled in together we roll largely as one big unit.
But what about successfully accommodating teenagers, then potentially a household of four adults?

I’ve decided to make flashes not just work, so here is a cake I made for my kid’s birthday.
She wanted a haunted, fancy cake with a floating ghost.

Working with old homes is rewarding, but they can be a challenge.
When we managed to access under the floor of this house we found out it had no real foundation , it was just sitting on rocks and piles of bricks!

I had a site visit today. I designed this house to make the most of all this beautiful North sunshine. ☀️

I love renovating heritage homes!
When you start they're tricky and messy and have loads of issues. But the end result is magical.
The history evident in our buildings is such an important backdrop to our lives. It just needs a little extra attention sometimes.

Hi, I'm new here.
I haven't really been sure where to start. I'm more of a pictures person than a words person, but I'm keen to move off Instagram and hopefully find some lovely people here.
