We bought this barn for a song, way back in 2015 and since then have had a roller coaster of events, all lurking somewhere on this blog, from failed businesses, to property investments, new career paths and health scares. But, and a drum roll please……we are in and its cosy, bright and beautiful!

Since buying life has changed and we found ourself a lovely farmhouse where I could home all the poultry better, have an orchard, a large vegetable plot and a studio. The barn sadly was not to be our dream home aftetall. However, now its partly complete ( there is still another half to finish), we wanted to at least live in it for a few months before renting out and it’s been lovely.

We are going to name the self-contained section Pea Cottage and add little Pea themed finds and a few of my whimsical Giant Pea pictures, so some of my work gets shown. It’s a slightly childlike interior with lots of bold colour…lovely when you’ve had a long journey and are in the holiday mood.
