A Little About Us…

A spark has been ignited in both Andrew and I, to continue the garden transformation, grow more food and focus on the idea of creating a sustainable do it yourself lifestyle around us, incorporating our new found loves of sewing and even more DIY renovation projects.

Hello, thought I’d do a little before and after post of the boot-room today, as I’ve just cleaned it after the non stop rain this weekend brought in lots of mud off wellies and dog paws. 🐾 It will remain this clean for maybe half an hour tops so had to be documented. Swipe for the before. I wish you a cosy afternoon on this a very wet and cold Tuesday. 💛

Good morning. How are you?

Just wanted to say an enormous thank you from Andrew and me for helping us mark the first anniversary of Joe’s passing in such a special way. Reading the thoughtful messages, personal stories and poems, and seeing the hundreds of candles lit in his honour both publicly and privately was so beyond what I hoped for and incredibly overwhelming. Above all the pure kindness of my instagram community gave an uplifting focus to a very difficult day. I have no doubt Joseph saw and loved all the twinkling lights. 🙏

I’ll be spending another quiet day in the garden and greenhouse, potting on, sowing sprouting broccoli seeds and a couple more squash varieties I missed. Unfortunately this years tulips are rather behind compared to this photo from two years ago, but on the bright side they’re something to look forward to. I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. 💛🌷

Hi my boy, Would you believe there’s a preside

Hi my boy,

Would you believe there’s a president Joseph now, you would have been tickled by that. It would’ve boosted your confidence to know he had a stammer for most of his life and it didn’t hold him back, just like you.

Sorry bud, but I’ve been avoiding Jeremy Lynch when he pops up on my Instagram. I know, I know, but his mannerisms remind me too much of you. The funny sketches he does especially the buzz lightyear and woody one is exactly something you would of done. I saved it to show you then realised I couldn’t, so I showed your dad instead who agreed, so very you.

The stillness of your bedroom was eating away at us all. So your dad and I moved the plant seedlings and tumble dryer in there, I know slightly random, but now we all have a reason to go in and out everyday, it’s helped us all so much. It’s comforting to be in your room with purpose, but also just to be near everything you loved. We finally got round to painting it the blue you and I chose. Do you like it?

One day we will pack away your clothes from your wardrobes, but I know none of us are ready for that anytime soon. I think that’s ok.

I try and live my life to be more like you and your sisters these days, full to the brim with purpose and new challenges. I’m saying yes to things that I would previously have let pass me by. Jeez it’s scary! Then I look back and remember how you tackled each day with gusto, with a lust for life like no other, and I keep going.

It saddens me to the core that we’ve not been able to give you the celebration of life you deserve a whole year later. As soon as we are able, we will throw the biggest party in your honour. Your dad was thinking of setting up the football goals to have a trick shot competition including, the ‘Rabona!’ There will of course be sausages cooked on the campfire too.

You really lit up our world, my boy. I hope you see all the candles lit around the world for you today. They’re a reminder of just how brightly you shone.

364 days without you is just as bad as 365, but I’m hopeful one day it won’t hurt so bad.

Miss you bub.
All my love and snuggly cuddles

Mum 💛 xx
