Ok, if our garden wasn’t already the best garden in the world, it sealed its status just now. We found four tiny kittens (and a shy mum) at the bottom of the veg patch. They are GORGEOUS!! ! 😍😍😍 Mummy cat did the same thing last year, I’ve been told by a local. She’s a canny creature because I’ve just found an old electricity junction box behind the bay tree that’s nicely insulated for a little family of kits. I’m getting some pro advice on what to do with them but have fed them in the meantime and am considering catching them and putting them in a warm spot overnight till I can get them to a cat rescue centre. Mum will need to be spayed when she’s ready and loving homes found for the babies. But in the meantime we can just marvel at their cuteness! #kittens #kittensofinstagram #straykittens #whatwillwefindnext #newhouseoldhome

One quiet little corner of my garden just now. It’s a reflecting pool built for a vanished Victorian greenhouse that was given to the National Trust (I’ll have to get on to my contacts and see where it went!) a few years back. When I first saw this ‘water feature’, my heart was in my mouth. All I could think about was my accident prone children and the likelihood of them ending up in it face first. It was covered over with bits of wood and plasterboard because the people selling the house hadn’t wanted anyone to fall in. Sadly that became the death of at least 2 hedgehogs who couldn’t then get out (hence the ‘ladder’). I had thought I’d just cover it over till I filled it in but I took the boards off for a little while (to retrieve the hedgehogs ☹️). Then early one morning I came out for a wander with a cup of tea and saw this view - and it captured my heart. I won’t get rid of it, I’ll be playing up to it instead. But I’ll keep some kind of ladder in it, specially for the hedgies... #oldhousenewhome #oldgarden #victoriangreenhouse #reflectingpool #hedgehog #hedgehogs #hedgehoglove #hedgehoglovers #gardenpond #renovationproject #whatwillwefindnext #renovatingourhome #renovating

Oh yes indeedy.... #lurchersofinstagram #realfire #firstfire #livefire #kindling #newhomeoldhouse #happy

More finds from the house - this time in a loft space by the utility room. There were lots of cushions, off cuts of old carpets and fake flower sprays, but here are the highlights. I particularly love “Kind and dear is the old house here”. It absolutely is. And here is a blast from the past: a deep brown handheld mixer that will no doubt give some of you major nostalgia... #nostalgia #specialfinds #magimix #oldplaque #terracottaplaque #whatwillwefindnext

Ways to engage the kids #1293: gather up the windfall twigs and make little bundles of kindling. A bit like Hansel and Gretel, we reckoned. I think we did ok for the moment. This is just from the garden though, there’s still 5+ bags of jackdaw nests from the chimney to get through yet. Crack on, kids!! #slavelabour #childslavelabour #windfall #hanselandgretel #fairytale #kindling #firestarter #kidfriendlyactivity #childfriendlyactivities
