WORKING HARD IN THE RAIN!

I have been working really hard at my stables lately. (See other posts)

               I have started putting up other fences.

            I have even been working in the rain.

        I have been using recycled wood of all shapes and sizes.

I did not want a straight standard fence, I wanted something more natural and fun. And I love the idea that all I brought were the stakes to knock into the ground. So nearly a fence for free!

There is still lots to do but I'm having fun. As you can see from this angle the fence dips with the land.
There is nothing better than working outside with beautiful scenery all around........

My Retro Caravan

I thought you would like to see my latest big purchase. It is a Cotswold Windrush 2 berth caravan.

I brought this with my daughter. We are going to use it down our stables and to go to Festivals etc.

It is in fair condition for its age. We think its very retro in style. I love the green stripe.

The inside is original with some lose catches and a few other broken bits but these are all minor.

                                               We have called her 'BINKY'

We are going to renovate the inside to reflect a more retro style. For now we have added a few bits
to make her more cosy. Above are two homemade crochet blankets.

I love this wicker basket. We found it at Home Base. They had many colours to suit everyone. I added the roses to make it even more pretty. It is the right size for us to store our books.

I could not resist adding some of my homemade bunting. it always makes any space special.

     

                                         There is always room for a home made heart.

My gingerbread man chalk board came from my home, it was the right size for Binky.

Binky has already been to one festival with my daughter, and was a great success. Now she is
parked up for the winter. It is great to have a lovely hot drink in comfort when we work down the stables.

                                   I will show you the results in a later post
                                   Hopefully she will look great!
