Life lately has mostly been about tentatively stepping out from behind the wall of rain we’ve had here these past few months and making the most of the odd sunny spell to start sorting out the garden ☀️ Before long the land behind the bungalow will turn into a building site, so we want to make sure the kids still have a safe space to run wild and play all summer. That’s meant laying down fresh wood chip, marking out where their climbing frame will go, and trying to get ahead while the weather allows it. Of course, we’d probably get a lot more done if the chickens didn’t insist on supervising every single job… 🐓🌱 Slowly but surely it’s starting to feel like the beginning of something exciting out here. #selfbuild #family #countrylife #notswolds #renovation
