A little refresh of our beautiful door wreath! 😍

I can't take all the credit for this as it was originally created and gifted to us by a guest, but I have added some flowers (that I have dried) from our garden and given it a good tidy up!

I just need to ask the postman NOT to post any big letters through the letterbox to avoid damage!!! 🤣

🌟 JUST OVER TWO WEEKS UNTIL GLORIOUS! TAKES TO THE STAGE🌟

Some people are born with talent... others simply believe they have it!

Glorious! by Peter Quilter tells the hilarious and heartwarming true story of Florence Foster Jenkins – the New York socialite famously dubbed "the worst singer in the world."

Set in 1940s New York, Florence warbled, screeched and sang her way to stardom, delighting audiences who often laughed louder than they applauded.

Yet surrounded by a wonderfully eccentric circle of friends, Florence remained blissfully unaware of the critics and was determined to follow her dreams.

A joyous celebration of optimism, friendship and the triumph of passion over pitch!

We often get asked where we go for our holiday as Somerset is such a great holiday destination! 😀
Well, usually we head over to Europe in search of some mountains! ⛰️
This year we've had a week in Mousehole, Cornwall. The weather was amazing 🌞, the beaches were stunning 🏖️, the cream teas were delicious 😋!
But we're happy to be back in Somerset again! 🏡
