One year of Bramble & Stone š¤
This time last year, we got the keys to Brewells Barn.
It already had the things we couldnāt have created ourselves ā an old stone building, woodland all around it and that incredible view across the valley. The rest needed a bit of imagination.
We emptied it, filled what felt like hundreds of holes, made more tip runs than we care to remember and changed our minds about almost everything at least once.
Glen ripped out, Mum and I painted. Ben tackled the bathroom and built the outdoor area. Jack did the electrics ā and very patiently changed lights and switches more times than Iām prepared to admit.
There wasnāt a big team behind it. It was us, our family and our friends, slowly turning what we had in our heads into something real.
And little by little, our hillside barn started to look like the place weād imagined when we first stood outside with those keys.
What we didnāt have back then was a name.
Bramble & Stone came afterwards.
Looking back at these photos, I think that might be my favourite part. We werenāt trying to build a brand. We just wanted to make our little hillside barn into somewhere really special ā without losing the character that made us fall for it in the first place.
A year later, it has a name, a story of its own, and so many lovely people have now come through its doors and enjoyed what we created.
And weāre still dreaming up what comes nextā¦
Happy first birthday, Bramble & Stone. š¤
