With Hattie just having had her first birthday, life is whizzing by and we're loving every sleep deprived moment (almost). I am doing 4 days of looking after her and Ellie is back saving horsey lives throughout the southwest!

Our revolting ex-farmyard "garden" is finally taking shape with some pleached Hornbeams and lots of chunky raised beds and a new swanky chicken run - it's jolly hard work!

Metal bashing has therefore taken a bit of a back burner. Now the creative juices are getting a bit full and need to be channelled back into the workshop. So watch this space!

Exhibiting at Stone Lane Gardens has also boosted the enthusiasm and I look forward to what the rest of the year has in store....
