Barefeet, Barbour and tequila....

this was taken just after the tequila slamming session that was followed by skinny dipping (well not all of us!) a great night had by all - not sure where the croquet came in.....

I just can't stop cooking....

Freshly picked from the farm.........
my first ever attempt at a fruit cobbler..... it's pretty easy, and all the ingredients are what is lurking in the larder anyway......

The home improvements to the downstairs loo!!

This is the before...This was a cold room room next to the garden with lots of plastic plants in and felt really small-
oh and I forgot to mention the toilet seat! this was the real reason we bought the house...ha.. another before pic!
so I prepared the room with an undercoat and sanded down the window frames and used "elephants breath" paint for the wallsMy first grouting tiles - although I did get really really messy and just used my fingers in the end... but worth it..
