On Mondays I'm home alone and it's a real treat, so I'm never that sad when the weekend ends anymore.
I work from the sofa, potter, pop out to the garden, work some more, all in my pyjamas.
Tomorrow however, I am determined to work my way through the piles of life that are filling every room and begin a long overdue spring clean.
My reward will be a meal out in the evening, sat INSIDE an actual restaurant and getting to hang out with @stovesincoves I can't wait! 🍾🍹
Anyone else an eager beaver with the reopening of inside seating in restaurants and cafes?

Have you made holiday plans for this year? Or are you just going with the flow and seeing what happens?
I kind of forgot it would be an option to go anywhere else if I'm honest and missed the boat a bit in terms of out of county adventures and decent accommodation.
I think we will be seeking out the small, lesser known places here in Cornwall (are there any left?!), hoping to avoid the huge migration which will properly get underway come Monday.
What I do know is I am going to be very intentional with having some proper time off work this year, to slow down and enjoy what is on our doorstep.

The garden had a very good drink this weekend and

The garden had a very good drink this weekend and everything seems that much fuller and greener as a result.
I'm looking forward to the back fence, on the top deck, getting clad in Cedar shingles soon, a job that was supposed to be done last Autumn. This said, I've intentionally slowed everything down these past few months, letting go of self imposed deadlines and the urgency of having things done now.
I definitely lack patience, but accepting and understanding that I have too much going on and can't be everything for everyone has been very good for me.
I've become much kinder to myself, hugely reducing my expectations and am going with the flow.
There is so much to be done in the house, but it can wait until the time is right, I'm in it for the long run after all.

Birthday celebrations in our house today and when

Birthday celebrations in our house today and when I say celebrations I mean cake and that's about it.
My husband isn't one for a big fuss and requested that nothing happened at all, but I kindly explained that it's not actually about him, the rest of us want birthday cake and we'll blummin well have it too!
The recipe is an adaption of my Beetroot Brownies, you can find it over on the blog, it's been shared there a few times, in one form or another.
Layers of fresh whipped cream and Biscoff Spread (crunchy) can never be wrong.
Cake Dish and Beeswax Celebration Candles are from the @aliceinscandilandshop
That's breakfast, lunch and dinner sorted for tomorrow then.

Heading off to do the polar opposite of this cosy little scene....
It's alfresco garden dinning with my parents and both brothers this evening and I can't wait.
It feels like a forever since I last saw my big brother, but with the forecast looking more than a bit ominous, I'm hoping this is what the majority of my weekend is going to look like.
Happy Friday everyone.

BLOG -
After an unintentional 4 month hiatus I've pushed through the imposter syndrome and written a blog post about our recent Mud Kitchen creation.
Would you believe this cost us a grand total of £0! I'm so pleased with how this lasted addition to the garden has turned out, Nancy and Eula absolutely love it and it only adds to the look of this corner, which is always a bonus when it comes to children related "stuff", don't you think?
Head to my blog to read lots more about it, find the link in my bio or stories and I'd love to hear what you think.
Happy Sunday ♡

I'd made plans for a long countryside stomp and picnic today.
Then I woke up and realised I'd rather just stay here in my pyjamas.
So I did.

I enjoyed some quiet moments at home on my own today, with the beautiful light flooding in, a little scented candle filling the space and Hazel the cat to keep me company.
What a joy to have the doors open all day, allowing me to easily potter inside and out.
Whilst we're here, haven't our dust sheet curtains stood the test of time well?
It's almost 4 years since I made these £10 drapes and I love them as much now as I did then.
I've added a link to the blog I wrote about them at the top of my page. Look at the way the light filters through softly, a perfect, neutral way to dress this divide between two rooms.

Hello, how are we all?
I haven't had much to say for myself here these past few weeks, so I just haven't. It's been quite freeing if I'm honest, removing the pressure to appear interesting (in the most part I'm really not!), along with having so much going on.
I've been concentrating on getting the @aliceinscandilandshop ready to reopen, as well as juggling the holidays.
But today we had my parents over for dinner in the garden, out first guests in oh so long, the sun shone, the Weeping Beech tree has burst into leaf and I wanted to share a beautiful little moment with you.
I hope you've had a lovely weekend?

Hi there Easter holidays, you sure did come around awfully quick, didn't you!

Kind of glad to not have to think about packed lunches and school runs for 2 weeks now/ freaking out about how I'm going to get the @aliceinscandilandshop back up and running in time for opening, with 2 little people in tow.
Hope you're all well?

Hi to everyone who's still left around these parts

Hi to everyone who's still left around these parts, there was a mass exodus after I set some boundaries in my stories a few days ago. That was an interesting 24 hours, it felt a bit like a Spring clean and that can't be a bad thing I'm sure.
The short version is let's get back to saying please and thank you on here again, shall we? It's fun to share and chat, but sometimes, a small minority seem to forget there's a real person behind the photos.
I'll be saving the long version to my highlights soon.
I started the deck blog a few weeks ago, then returned to carry on yesterday, only to find it hadn't saved!
I'll start again very soon, I WILL have it written before the @aliceinscandilandshop reopens.
For now, if you're new around these parts, please take a look at my Deck highlights, at the top of my page, where you'll find more information about it.
This shot was from last August, I'm so excited for the beds to fill out again, I take a look out there every day and so much is going on 🙌🏻

In the depths of Winter I begin to pick apart our

In the depths of Winter I begin to pick apart our decision to stay put in our house, to not follow the trend to try to buy bigger, my feelings of being settled start to fray a little at the seams.
But it's around this time of the year, as the doors stay open a little longer each day, that we all collectively breath out.
The niggling feelings about a lack of space diffuse, we can each spread out a little more and our home and choices make much more sense for our family once again.
Does anyone else have mixed feelings about their home, depending on the seasons?

I spent some quiet moments here today, a new playlist drifting out from the house, recipe book and cup of tea in hand, just absorbing the calm.
Everything is so urgent for me right now, so many work related things that are piling on the stress, it's important to take a step out of all of that, even if it's just a brief garden escape.
I need to remember to do this more often, throughout the week and am going to be working on building better boundaries for myself.

I'm feeling incredibly grateful to be safe and warm at home with my family this weekend. The last week has been a lot, hasn't it, for so many complicated reasons, such a heavy weight of emotions.
Lots of love to you all.

I blinked and it was Friday.
Is anyone else wondering how the hell we're supposed to fit everything we used to do into a standard week going forwards?
I mean, it's physically impossible, someone's played around with time surely?!

Garden details... This Cedar Clad side of the shed

Garden details...
This Cedar Clad side of the shed is definitely one of my most favourite details in the garden and we've decided to carry it on around to the back fence.
I've given myself the winter to think about it, initially I wasn't 100% convinced as I was worried it might feel odd with the Cedar + fence ending and seeing sky above. You don't see many shingle fences, but I'm also keen not to have too many differing materials competing for attention, so we're going for it.

All change.
I've lost count of how many different versions this part of the house has been through, but that's the beauty of this space, different times of the year and different goings on require different setups.
Today I very gladly got rid of the old computer and desk we've had here for the last however long, a temporary schooling setup I'm not sorry to see the back of. The girls go back to school on Monday ♡
The focus for this space now is to feel connected with outside, so we can watch Spring come to life, as the flower bed that hugs this corner bursts into growth.
I absolutely adore that it feels as though the internal floor continues to outside, pulling the eye out in different directions.
I sat here earlier and watched a Bluetit do a RightMove tour of the garden, checking out all the bird boxes we have, deciding which one has the best outlook, which would make the best family home and who their neighbours may be.

A day of many differing parts.
My morning was spent trying to appeal to Facebook, who have banned my accounts (Instagram + FB) from ever being able to run paid Ads ever again, their conclusion was jog on. A painful reminder we are not in charge around here.
I followed this by an afternoon tour of 3 local Garden Centres with my girls, where we got a bit spendy (I completely blame Facebook for this, I may send them the bill) and treated ourselves to some beautiful new plants. Sunday is planting day and we can't wait.
Then hunger related anger kicked in with said children and we were no longer friends. Then I failed to cook the meal I've been attempting to cook for 3 days, because I STILL haven't managed to buy all the ingredients. It's only Macaroni Cheese ffs!!
I've decided to drink a bottle Mud House Sauv Blanc Rose (my new crush) instead of attempt another dinner (the children can have porridge + a multivit, that's a balanced meal right?!) and I'm caring a lot less about most things now.
Wine is good.
Apparently today was our last day of schooling from home. We forgot to join in, hey ho!
