Summer in the village....

 

Gorgeous wedding flowers in our church this weekend.

Summer flowers...alchemilla, sweetpeas, roses, scabious around the church door.

The font...

And the pews...beautiful xx

The Bastle is just next door to the Church and I can safely say, after 3 years...is on the final straight for completion...hurrah!

The outside is finished...simple, no clutter.

There is a place to sit at the front of the house when the sun comes round in the afternoon.

The laurel hedge will thicken, heighten and create a private sitting area. 

Another year perhaps?

There is also seating on the deck at the rear of the Bastle for morning and lunchtime sun,

Inside the living room is coming together.. Big squashy, " take your shoes off, curl up and relax" chair and sofa..

18th century Country furniture, a wood burning stove for chilly evenings and quirky additions on the wall...

The dining table in front of the original bastle doorway, framed by a 19th century fireplace..

The staircase glass panels in the kitchen area are now in...

The iron chandelier is quite dramatic if I may say so...

The new, suspended lighting over the kitchen work area went in today and is casting pretty shadows this evening...

I am delighted we are on the final straight and so is Miss Ottie....

Nice rug Mum x

She is looking rather smart as she has a new, personalised leather collar..a bit of bling for my shiny girl x

So, a few more weeks and hopefully it will be marketed for holiday lets in gorgeous Northumberland... A kick off the backside from Hadrian's Wall too x
