Guests choose a hand hewn Barn

crafting memories with friends

discovering a rare experience

"gathering privately and lingering longer".

I am the host

"To wonder what they need and respond".

Winter is hugging us.

Damp rising.

Rusty musk copper tones turning.

Dark grey charcoal textures left behind.

I love this seasonal appearance.

Its an opportunity

to bring those bare branches

N**e seedpods

Drying nature offerings found in the wild

"Inside" and showcase them brilliantly.

Creating the most beautiful stage

friends meet by candlelight

immersed in the charm

"Of a story".

A connection with a place.

The heart of a robust Barn edifice.

Their boutique occasion

Coppery candlelight

muted on wafting sand linen table covers

A luxuriously private occasion.

Homegrown food placed on beds of tahini paste

Herbs scattered, scollops of bread crusts soak.

Retreating that feels a world away.

It means

"we have a new story worth telling every time".

" I created this living wallpaper from an idea that our breezeway could be a beautiful place to be"

"A kind of old world french barn scene"

"Aged timbers, rustic benches, cane chairs clustering, and all about a pottage garden"

"Proteas were discovered from a friends market garden"

"Have you ever seen a protea, its mqgnificently made"

"Dewi spanned the wire netting over ply"

"There, I threaded pickings"

"I loved the way their heads showed off their hidden petals, perfectly placed"

Night falls on that scene, then sunrise drapes it, whilst sunsets cast a rose coloured tint"

And then as if it was meant to be,

"brides came to our hand hewn Barn and graced that place"

"I love sitting there and feeling the breeze, by myself, gazing at that living wallpaper backdrop, bring in the garden"

Its a tranquilling kindness

I made it.

Peice by peice

a collection of season migrations

touch the hand hewn Barn

A damping fringe of the brussel foliage

Its reaching to the silver skies

Grey through olive grasses

Below a fading blue denim of mountain range

I walk in it.

Cows grazing dreamlike
