We’ve partied, painted (not at the same time!) moved bales around, tried to harvest some of the apples, and have given the bedroom a very quick refresh… the last couple of weeks have been busy!

I’ve never done a quick, temporary refresh before, I’m usually a girl that likes to design it fully or wait until I’m ready… purely because of sustainability… but after a year of living with grey walls, my mental wellbeing needed COLOUR in the bedroom so here we are. There’s a few bits to do until I share the temporary refresh with you fully… but hopefully it won’t be long!

Much love from the farm,

Turning 38 🥳 with big hair, a big heart and a very big dress! A weekend full of slow evenings, muddy feet, wild swims, tables full of food, fields to wander and people to love ❤️

Well, as always I’d love to say a huge thank you to you all for your continuous love and support over the past year. You are a HUGE part of my journey here, and I know that things here have been a little sporadic over the past year with all we’ve had going on and there’s been ups and downs…. but thank you for sticking by me with such kindness and encouragement for all I do.

Looking forward to sharing the next twelve months full of love, life, creative inspiration and some more microphone chats (!) with you very soon! ###

Thank you so much (and if you can’t wear a big dress in a field and sing to Pink Floyd on your birthday than when can you 😜)

Much love
Emma ###

An exciting day on the farm for the little lad this week… (swipe for the BEAUTY! And a rather lovely potato song that kept us going) really enjoying sharing more of our little daily moments with you x

Little recent farm moments from the last couple of weeks…

Living on the ride on mower
Clearing out the old stone shed to hang the garlic harvest
Golden sunset on the house
Planning the outdoor shower
Building our new Claverton cloches
Late night golden fields
Summer outdoor cinema nights

It’s the first time I’ve done this style of post rather than a reel- so let me know what you think!

Melting in 35 degree heat and the curls are STRUGGLING (Monica comes to mind) but in one of the prettiest place in the Cotswolds so everything is ok 😉 the last photo is my favourite!

Recently I escaped our renovation project at the farm to gain lots of inspiration for our upcoming interiors, but also the kitchen garden that we’ve just built. It has always been a dream of mine to be able to cook with what I grow, to feed people from our land that we’ve put our love in to… And who better to advise and inspire me than the wonderful Joe Woodhouse in the beautiful setting of Thyme . Joe is a talented vegetarian chef, so I was able to pick his brains about what the best things to grow in our gardens are (herbs and onions came up on top!) and then try some of his amazing food after. Such an inspiring evening and I look forward to trying more with our own produce at home! .thyme

I know you’ll ask about the dress- it’s so comfy and easy to wear and is Holland Cooper Jade Holland Cooper 💙

Flower crowns, hand-smocked dresses, maypole dancing, chickens, and the most wonderful company… what more could I ask for?

Recently, I had the absolute joy of celebrating creativity, friendship, and timeless style with an incredible group of women, all brought together by my lovely friend Leah . Dressed in beautiful pieces, we embraced our inner literacy heroines with Bridgerton style maypole dancing, garden frolicking, delicious food, and a tour of Leah’s inspiring kitchen garden.

The day was a beautiful reminder of the magic that happens when creative women gather together to encourage, support, and celebrate one another 💛

A special thank you to the wonderful Carrie for taking my photo for the first time and capturing so many of these precious moments so beautifully.

And of course, swipe to the end for the most important photo of all: me cuddling a chicken 🐓✨ Such a dreamy day!

Well, I can’t believe I’m saying this but we’re now six months into our little farm life here, and so I thought it was about time I celebrate the main farmhand. It’s been a huge change of lifestyle for him but he’s got stuck right in, helping us with every job that needs ticking off, including (but not limited to) pruning the orchard and harvesting the fruits, demolition and the rebuild of the fireplace, digging and building the raised beds and paths for the kitchen garden, chopping trees for firewood and kindling, painting the living room, creating the party barn, clearing paths in the woodland and tidying up the greenhouses.

He also gives lessons in kite flying and broomstick races - just incase anyone’s interested…

Proud of you little man ❤️

Well I know I’ve been a little quieter on this little app recently. There is an overwhelming amount of work to do here and knowing where to start is tricky, especially looking forward to Spring, which also means land, planting plans and livestock! So here is just some of what I’ve been trying to do/ set in motion over the past couple of weeks… There is so much to tackle inside and out, it’s hard to prioritise as everything seems to have a knock on effect, and of course working on everything ourselves and around jobs means we only have a certain amount of time in the day! But I wanted to share a little of what’s going on in my brain (and therefore what we’re working on!) currently… water, planting, pigs 🐖, kitchen garden, stars ✨, interiors, greenhouse dinners and painting colour palettes…

Your guess is as good as mine as to which will happen first…. But just keep cheering me on so I don’t stop please 😂
