Skipping out for dinner with my good friend, a few 🍾🍸 down already.
I'm declaring 8 - 10:30pm tonight my actual birthday, after raging PMT turned me into an angry, pained devil woman yesterday.
Anyone else think grownup birthdays are a bit meh?!

Breaking out the wide angle option on my phone for

Breaking out the wide angle option on my phone for this shot.
Amongst other things, today I have been thinking some more about the changes I want to make in here. I don't know about you, but as the seasons begin to phase from one into the next, I begin to imagine how I want to feel within my home in the approaching time. For me it's snug.
The tricky issue for the living room is the fact you walk through it, so it can feel like a corridor, a space to go through to get to the next.
The subtle lines, hidden throughout the room, the long rectangular coffee table, the sofa, floorboards, ceiling light, slate hearth, all of these subconsciously pull you through to what's happening beyond.
There's also an emptiness to the centre, a nothingness.
I want to help this room to be it's own place, to round off those lines and make you want to linger a while.
Changes to come include -
》lighter Sofa Covers
》bigger light
》a change of coffee table
》a overhaul of the gallery wall
None of these edits are huge, but collectively I have a feeling they're do the trick.

I grew up in a house with a beautiful woods where I spent much of my time at least 20ft up a tree. My knees were permanently scraped and cut, my hair a wild, knotted mane, filthy hands and a happy heart.
As we work away on our home as adults, it's strange the things that strike a chord, that resonate with past memories and right now I am finding it is making me so happy that the 2 wonderful trees in our own garden, a Weeping Beech and a glorious old Oak are becoming more of a focus for the space. The girls are loving exploring and testing their limits, which I fully encourage and wish I still had the motivation to shimmy up there myself!
I can't wait to properly share the deck over on the blog, I had hoped to have it written up by now, but September has kind of been kicking my arse if I'm honest.
It will happen when the time is right ♡

Let's be honest, our children's bedtime can feel like a real chore sometimes, yet ANOTHER thing to do in the day, even more being expected of you when you're just about dragging yourself through until it's crappy TV time.
But then there's the many wonderful worlds, captured on paper, sandwiched between beautiful covers, ready to provide just the right escape from the realities and pressure of adulting.
Tonight it's Shirley Hughes ♡

3...2...1...
Today we escaped down west and tried out the new Geothermal pool @jubileepool but first, there's no pleasure without a little pain, so into the main sea water pool we went.
Quite honestly it was glorious, a tonic for the mind.

Is it even a new school year without a slightly forced morning uniform photo?!
I'm all kinds of confused about my feelings, regarding Nancy and Eula's return to the education system today.
We're beyond grateful to the teachers who already had it tough, before 2020 dropped it's big old bag of shite all over us, but if I'm honest, I could have carried on with our new norm a little while longer.
We had reached a very settled, low expectations way of life and, despite the challenges of juggling work, we were feeling strangely content in our tiny little day to day existence.
I know this isn't the general consensus, but there we go.

We haven't been able to use this end of the garden

We haven't been able to use this end of the garden for almost 2 months, it's been the dumping ground for everything that needed to move out of the way for the deck build.
We're celebrating it's return to normality with a takeaway curry that's en route, gosh it's good to have the sunshiney evenings back isn't it?
I hope you're all having a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend?
On another, more practical note, I need to join the modern world and get some serious garden maintenance equipment (Petrol leaf blower/ hoover and a @karcher_uk type Pressure Washer)
What would you recommendations be please? The choice is endless! I'd like to avoid leads and plugs if possible.
Thank you x

A rarely seen angle of Eula's room, the 2nd least

A rarely seen angle of Eula's room, the 2nd least shared space in our house (first position goes to our bathroom, an absolutely tiny place of extreme ugliness).
I've had to use the wide angled option on my phone here, which is misleading, not easy on the eye and gives the impression of more space, but honestly, you couldn't swing a mouse in there, let alone a cat.
Our decision to stay put, to say no to sizing up + the inevitable debt that comes with that, came with several sacrifices and one of those is that you could fit almost 2 of Eula's rooms into Nancy's. They're fine with it, for now, but I do occasionally have visions of how 2 hormone raving teenage girls are going to feel about this down the line. Wish me luck with that!
Anyway, I just thought I'd share, for anyone feeling a bit disillusioned with all the gloriously big bedrooms you see on Insta, I get the envy too, our house is far from perfect for us, but we're concentrating of the bigger life picture, not the bigger house.
(Search "Twin Slot Shelving" on the blog for more about Eula's book shelves).

I'm claiming back our little routines and rituals, which help to create a buffer against my chaotic pace of life right now.
It's been quite some time since I've been able to sit here and eat a lunch prepared by Nancy (we really need to work on her cooked meal repertoire and expand out from eggs!)
We've continued the house sort today, tackling Eula's room, going in with our keep, donate, recycle mantra. There's now a healthy pile next to the front door, ready to be dropped off at the Charity Shop.
I've made a start on the corner of doom in the kitchen, the go to dumping ground.
We all have them, right?!
I feel like September might be the month for finally getting the dining table sorted, it's around 6 months and counting with this temporary vintage bamboo number, whilst lovely, it's not a suitable longterm option for us and I want me some solid wood back!

Craft table version 5? 7? I've really lost count,

Craft table version 5? 7? I've really lost count, but maybe this bargain school table is the one to stick (I'm making no promises!)
The girls and I have been on a little Cornish tour today, to collect some vintage bits for the shop.
Things didn't exactly go to plan, the restaurant we were going to treat ourselves to lunch in was closed, the 2nd choice was absolutely rammed, the crowds at the beach made us turn around and run for our lives, but an M&S bits + bobs picnic, in the back of the van, on this table, in the rain, in the corner of a Premier Inn carpark, excited the girls so much they've asked it we can do it again next week! It makes my heart burst when they demonstrate their appreciation for the small, simple things. They happily create an occasion out of the most basic environment and I love that. I hope they keep that positive view as they get older.

Sunday was definitely not a day of rest, but it was a day of getting shit done 💪🏻
Eula requested help making a Rocket Pack, I delivered 🚀
Nancy requested help getting her room back to it's former glory, a herculean task after 5+ months of seriously below par standards of cleanliness. We delivered 🌟
I've also painted the shed with a much needed extra coat of black ♥︎

New favourite spot.
A work in progress, Stu shingled the side of the shed and it is sexy as F. We're a row short at the top, the new deck is absolutely covered in dried on mud, from a drystone wall reconstruction and I could carry on listing all the little details that aren't done.
Or I could just say I love it.
I bloody do and wanted share it with you.

All my energy recently has been focused on getting the @aliceinscandilandshop
back up and running, amidst this weird and uncertain world we find ourselves living in. It's safe to say I've been more than a little distracted and the fact it's 2 years this week since I opened my little business almost passed me by.
Despite being exhausted, overstretched and definitely missing those simpler days from a few months back, where I could give my girls all the attention they desired and go for wild swims and quiet evening walks, I feel positive about how things are going and so incredibly thankful.
I have been lucky in many ways, but I have also worked my ruddy arse off too and it's very fulfilling seeing that effort pay off.
Thank you for following along.
If you head over to the @aliceinscandilandshop page this evening you'll find a little giveaway to celebrate.

Wine in the garden at 4 this afternoon, in between

Wine in the garden at 4 this afternoon, in between downpours, seemed like a good place to start to try and counteract the 7hrs I've spent staring at a laptop, on my day off.
How did someone who hates technology so much end up doing something so technology based as their job? Something's gone a bit wrong here!
