Who doesn’t love a den? 

June 24, 2017

We’ve all made dens from blankets and dining chairs on rainy days when we were children, and if you’re a parent you’ve more than likely built these again with your own budding builders. I think we need to teach our children from an early age about recycling, repurposing, upcycling and the best way to do … More Who doesn’t love a den?

Garden workspace, featuring Tent Ltd

January 11, 2017

As I look out of the window from my work desk in the kitchen, I long for a workspace in the garden.

Cable reel play table

November 22, 2015

I’m a big fan of skips and the treasures they can hold. I’m always amazed by the things people sometime throw away.  I’m okay with it if it’s genuine rubbish, beyond repair or just too far gone to rescue, but some things are still in perfect working order or just need a bit of TLC … More Cable reel play table

Garden Paint – exactly what it says on the tin.

September 25, 2015

Ok, so it might be autumn but there is still time to paint your garden furniture in this Indian Summer we’re having – well the weathermen tell us we are, so it must be true! I’ve had a bit of a Ronseal paint fuelled summer in the garden this year. I painted my decking in Ronseal … More Garden Paint – exactly what it says on the tin.
