I still can’t believe we have moved. This house was and will be forever a great love of mine.

From the moment I saw it I loved it - even though it was deemed unmortgageable - it was in such bad condition. It had no heating, was occupied by hoarders, it had boarded up windows, rats, slugs, a fox den, I could go on. It was London, I never thought I’d buy a house so I was over the moon. We renovated in its entirety and brought her back to life, wow she was a great house with great energy and so handsome too!

I can’t even explain how I feel about leaving but I have a tonne of happy memories and thanks to instagram this whole account of images and even magazine spreads featuring.
I gave everything I had to this house but I also got a lot back, I’m forever grateful!

Oh boy does the next house have a lot to live up too.

This won’t be the last you see if this house, I’m sure I’ll be going back to old images, before and afters and some FAQs I never got round too.

Here she is!! Our new home 🏡

Very different from our London house, externally anyway. Not a style/ period of house I thought I’d live in actually but it has some features we just loved.

And did you notice there are hydrangeas 😂 taken in Folkestone, Kent by @tinyandthehouse

Dahlias really never get old - I’m already thinking of more varieties for 2027. What’s your favourite?

Ok so it’s been a hard slog, for us, the people who have helped us. Taking a second to back an realise what we have done.

Is anyone else guilty of feeling like you don’t work hard enough - but actually it’s all you do!

Proof that you don’t have to finish everything at once. The best gardens evolve. Still plenty to do, but it’s getting there.

Do you think they love the new climbing frame?

This garden is for the whole family.
My cut flower garden and greenhouse are right next to the kids play area, everyone is happy!

I’ll be sharing more on the garden and what I’ve done/ will be doing. Check back in soon;

And so it begins!!!!!

We installed our beautiful @rhinogreenhouses last year but by the time was ready and landscaped around it it was too late to plant up. Oh my how I will enjoy it this year!!!

Last year I was left feeling a little frustrated - like I couldn’t get stuff done, but on reflection I can see it was bloody hard work getting the garden to this stage at all. I was absolutely exhausted. Now I feel more revived and I can also feel a shift in the kids ages - so I’m excited for my garden in 2026! I’ve been pruning and clearing by the last couple of weekends. I have planting plans but I’ll be doing it in realistic manner (I’m learning my limits).

My main plan is to continue to get the structure of the garden sorted - walls, beds, painting fencing. Then plant climbers and shrubs.

How it’s going over the road: Tom’s listening to 90’s dance bangers; @mollyjonesstudio’s mural refuses to be painted over; holes are getting filled; @tinyandthehouse makes important decisions.

Meanwhile, come catch us in @curiosandgate (99 Sandgate high street) for all your coffee & @dockerbakery needs.

Can you believe these shots were taken this weekend nut 5 years ago! We used the garden so much, even in winter.

Looking back is always fun! Remembering how hard I worked on my last garden helps to drive me to work in my current garden, I want to love it as much as I loved this one. I can feel the kids moving into a different stage so perhaps 2026 will be the year I get my garden groove back! I could manage it with one kid, but two just beat me haha! by @tinyandthehouse
