Moving and Packing Well we’re almost all unpacked, I’ve baked something so that must mean our house is now home! We’re loving the new place. It’s so much more open and light and spacious than our last place. Having the garden as well makes it so much nicer and I swear it feels twice as big...

We’re all moved in! We just have to return the keys for the old place and we’re good to go. The new flat is lovely but needs a bit of tlc. Once we get a bit more sorted, I.E. furniture in the correct rooms, I’ll post some pics. It has fewer bedrooms than the last place which means no seperate...

I rather loosely interpreted this one. I was going to add a LONDON applique across the front but ran out of the time. I was rather anal about getting my flag to look authentic and spent quite a bit of time working out approximate widths of each stripe so it looked in proportion. I’m glad I did as ...
