Hello! I hope this post finds you well! A lot seems to have changed since we last spoke (including the opening of the beer garden!) and we hope you're all continuing to adjust to life as it evolves over the next few weeks. I don't know about you, but instead of climbing the walls, I'm really okay with not going back to 'normal'. In fact, I think I've found my new normal, and I really hope it's going to continue to involve many, many plants, endless cups of tea on our new garden bench (with the warmer weather to accompany it!) and long catch-ups with friends and loved ones, savoured over tea and treats on the lawn (until it's too...
"Deep sleeps the Winter, Cold, wet and grey; Surely all the world is dead; Spring is far away. Wait! the world shall waken; It is not dead, for lo, The Fair Maids of February Stand in the snow!" ‘The Snowdrop Fairy’ - Cicely Mary Barker. They're here! The first signs of Spring.

And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” - Lewis Carroll. Jack Frost has been doing the rounds this week! The blankets of intermittent snow and ice have made it a little easier to stay home this past couple of weeks, but the beauty of it shows that every season has its time to shine. Happy New Year! (I know it's too late to say it, but it's also the first time this year that we've spoken!) I hope you all had a lovely Christmas New Year,...
Hello! We hope you're staying safe and well! It's been another really exciting week for us since our launch! Not only has our Christmas Shop been open for business as we're now a week closer to the big day! (thank you to everybody who has continued to support us during this time!) but we've also been featured across the Internet! We know it isn't a UK thing, but we're feeling quite thankful this Thanksgiving Week! First of all, our Lead Designer Dan's company BEYONDESIGN featured our fresh new branding over on their company LinkedIn which was super exciting! In his weekly review, they chose to talk about our new look and the change of direction as a whole during these crazy...
