oak leaves in the brightest autumnal shades - perfect on their own!

Open Day! Friday 16th September

It has been quite a journey, but with a day to go, it's taking shape and we finally have some flowers in the shop to sell. They are just gorgeous this week, with amazing organic locally grown varieties, including scented stems of basil, zinnia, dahlia, amaranthus and celosia, to name a few.  We open our doors this Friday, from 9.30am and are looking forward to seeing everyone!

and moving in...

a sneak peak at the shop so far - still lots to do, but with the helping hands of my wonderful dad, and my lovely husband, we are getting there slowly but surely! Mirrors going up on walls (with rather too many holes, well hidden) to a display counter at the front.... now we just need to get painting!





Still lots to do, but fingers crossed we will nearly be there next week!

So long old mill!

well the day has come, I have finally moved out of the old mill and moved to pastures new! It certainly feels strange looking in the old place without any furniture! I shall miss the cats, the ducks, the free growing moss and woodland foliage and ivy. I won't miss the damp, the dark, the flooding and the freezing temperatures!and i will be pleased to be somewhere a little warmer come November...the heater has packed up!
