Today in cottage news:

1. A dining room switch round
2. A new colour on the back door
3. A blueberry and *homegrown* rhubarb meringue pie.
4. The rhubarb. Going mad.

Bought tickets for Hamlet at the Northern Stage. Extremely exciting vibes. There are still some left, too. 👀👀

I found my happiness. And retreating from the world happened completely by accident.

If you need me, you'll find me in my garden with my family.

Our power has been out for hours, so I just made us coffee using our stove burner.

Best coffee I have ever had in my entire life.

I popped to the shops earlier. The icy wild is so beautiful.

What year is it?

We did a big walk this morning. Feeling extraordinarily lucky. And rather full.

The most important thing today was rest and peace. It's been a hugely exhausting year for humanity. Sending positive vibes to you all.

The first summer in our own home is burning to a beautiful end. And I feel so so lucky.

Pure joy.

I have finished the Christmas clean. (As much as I can clean in a renovation house where 2 rooms aren't floored properly and there's no kitchen.)

The bedroom and lounge look amazing, though, and that's all that matters, really. Now, for a snack.

I tiled the feature window in our lounge today. One step closer to the room being finished.

Drunk Lisa was shopping. I woke up and have bought THESE:

Shaun says a huge YAY! 🟩🏳
I say "we need a new kitchen. And the house has no bathroom." (Nay)🚩

Tuesdays are fucking shit.

Food is great.

Our new home is in a Northumbrian hamlet on the edge of a national park.

Everyone knows everyone, and they are so so lovely. So far, we have been given eggs and jam. This week, a bottle or prosecco and a card.

The world is less of a bin up here.

Renovation week 10: Our lounge is coming together.

None of the rooms can be finished until all of the pipework is moved and radiators are replaced.

I also plan to tile the ceiling above the chimney breasts.
