I'll let you in on a little secret, I kind of love

I'll let you in on a little secret, I kind of love the turning of these seasons, from Summer to Autumn.
Autumn is my comfy place, it's where I'm most at home, perhaps because I'm born smack bang on the Autumn Equinox?
The leaves of the Weeping Beech began to fall earlier than usual, but my Desdemona Rose is in it's 3rd, fragrant bloom. It's smell makes my heart beat a bit faster I'm so in love with it.
Happy little moments ♡

Leaving for work and told the girls I'd pay them handsomely if they made the house look like this.
They were eager, but Nancy (age 9) told me to have reasonable expectations 🤣
Happy Saturday everyone x

I've been feeling rather out of sorts the last 24h

I've been feeling rather out of sorts the last 24hrs or so, a bit adrift, panicky, anxious, then it dawned on me that I'd been staring at a screen for practically 2 whole days.
So I threw on my cossie, headed to the sea, dived in and stared out at the distant horizon, alone, floating and happy.
It was one of those sea swims where the water is coming at you from all directions, far from calm, but very grounding and beautifully wild.
I've not quite levelled out yet, it's scary what this tech can do to us, but it's a swim in the right direction.

A year ago today.
I've been reminiscing about the slower days from last year and am wishing I wrote more on the blog during that time, but I've lost my ability to write without over thinking it all. It's a shame but quite possibly a symptom of the burnt out feeling that makes a lot of things hazy at the moment, perhaps with time it will pass.
I remember this day, I'd worked until 3am, packing orders and was feeling a bit desperate, but then I took the girls off to deliver some things and it turned out to be the most beautiful, unexpected momentary escape.
Exactly what we had all needed.
We are so incredibly lucky to live in this glorious county.

Wood is the love language that flows throughout ou

Wood is the love language that flows throughout our home, inside and out.
My husband is forever chopping it to keep us warm, shaping it into entertaining things for the children, like swings, mud kitchens, little ride on wheeled creations.
Now there's a new addition to enjoy...

This outside corner of the extension is about the only part of my design that I slightly regret. I liked the idea of glass wrapping around, but in hindsight a view of the side of the fence ain't all that!
I had the idea of creating another wood store here a while back, because I do love a nicely stacked log and seeing the tones and textures from inside sounded like just the solution.
Yesterday Stu made my wood dreams come true and here you'll find our 4th log pile.
You can never have enough wood in my opinion, don't you agree?

For questions about the extension please visit my blog and look for "How to extend", it's all in there.

Gosh I've really loved today.
The girls are off camping with my parents and I was supposed to be working for much of it, but Stu and I got caught up cleaning and tidying and chatting and drinking hot drinks without interruption and on the surface there was nothing remarkable about any of it but at the same time it all just felt really good ♡

Hurrah for the sun - heads for the darkest corner

Hurrah for the sun - heads for the darkest corner of the house (clearly this ain't it).
Don't get me wrong, I like to know it's there, I'm over the moon for all you sun worshippers, but unless I'm in full holiday mode, iced drink in hand and zero parenting responsibilities (so that's basically never) this girl just can't handle it these days.
I haven't been in the sea for so long, an absolutely disgusting fact, considering my proximity to the beach and how much I love it, but I haven't been able to face the crowds.
I will remedy that this week.

Slow Sunshiney Sundays are my favourite and exactly what was needed at the end of a full on week.
I hope you've all had a good half term?

I stole the lightshade from our bedroom to try out in the kitchen (I can't remember where it was from, sorry) and hung one of my favourite prints from my shop, "I am coming Back".
The lovely teapot is by the wonderful @claejosieswift and those beautiful blooms are fresh from my garden.

It's been a bit of a week to say the least and I'm very relieved to be spending the day here, slowing things right down, tending to my plant babies and letting all the stress float away.
I'm going to write a blog post about the plants we have in the garden soon, I'm very much an amateur gardener, I make it up as I go along, but I get asked about it a lot and would love to encourage those of you who don't have the confidence to just go for it.
My garden is a very healing place for me, it helps me to look after myself.
If you have any requests for things to include, let me know.
Happy Sunday.

I had a lovely day at the shop today, I decided I would before I even left the house this morning and perhaps I willed it into reality.
I met some people who have followed along with me here for many years and they had some very kind things to say about the journey I've taken from sharing pretty pictures of my home, to the blog, then on from that to opening the @aliceinscandilandshop
It was an unexpected little boost, so thank you to those people, I hope you enjoyed the rest of the afternoon x

Blog: Garden Makeover Phase 2, Making a Plan.
Over on the blog today is the first of a 2 part series, covering the second phase of work in our garden.
Today's post talks about what came before our wonderful deck, the thought process I went through, my ponderings about composite decking (and decision to go with real wood) and more.
》Find the link at the top of my bio
Tomorrow part 2 will follow, which picks up from building the deck from the mud up and will include lots of the details I have been asked about by you lovely lot.
I hope you enjoy and find them interesting, let me know what you think x
Swipe through for some before shots...

The past year has been so hard for many of us, for lots of different reasons. Some big, some small, but all of them valid.
We each have faced personal and professional challenges, but for me, amongst the overall feeling of fatigue, concern for what my business will look like on the other side, how my children will cope with so much upheaval and change, came some of the most memorable and special moments and days of my life.
On this day last year, in very different weather conditions to what we have experienced today (☔🌬🌧) the girls and I spent the most magical time together, up on the moors and wild swimming in our undies in a forest river.
Nancy, then 8, captured this moment of sheer joy between Eula and I and I will treasure this image and the memory for the rest of my life.

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.
