    Looking forward to watching the kitchen renovations, love the green colour, so jealous of your new utility room. In a previous house I had a fabulous utility room with so much additional storage. When I downsized the utility rooms went, I so miss it because it kept all the dirty jobs out of the kitchen.

    I love your positivity among all the chaos. You really are inspirational. Your new home is beautiful, even the washing line in the garden! It’s one of my simple pleasures seeing washing drying on a line in the garden. What an enormous undertaking moving to your new home has been. I hope it’s not too long before you can live in it with happiness and comfort.

    The first thing I did after dropping the children off for their first day of the new school year this morning was make a cup of tea and pop on this video. I've been waiting for a quiet house so I could properly enjoy it. So lovely to catch up on what you have been up to. The house is really starting to look like your family home. As an aside, I agree Brexit and the custom duties are a pain. Our children go to a British international school so we have to pay duties on the uniforms purchased from the official school uniform supplier because it is based in the UK. With three children, it is an expense that is hard to swallow!

    Love the new house. We moved into an old farmers cottage that used to belong to an estate. We were short of room for the washing machine so we have converted the old wash house next to the barn into a utility just like you. I'm not sure how it will work out in winter but the idea works well at the moment. We had an Aga in the old house but we have settled for a smaller Everhot 60 - it's not installed yet but we cant wait for the same radiant heat cooking again. Hope all goes well with settling in.
