  • Large Armchair redone
    These are photos of some of the work done at The English Armchair Abroad, showing the piece when it was delivered to me in all its glory and then after I've done the work. I think you will agree that even the most hopeless looking chair has surprising possibilities! Click on the thumbnail to enter the gallery.

Planting a wood

A short time ago we managed to buy a small piece of land attached to our already existing small field.  I suppose it is now about one acre in total.  Anyway, we decided to plant a (small) wood and yesterday work commenced.

Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me;  otherwise you would have seen a tractor sunk up to its cabin in mud.  Another, bigger tractor had to pull it out this morning.  This field is on a slope and the top part stays dry enough but the bottom seems to collect water and stay WET!

This is the field with work going on.

The trees are going in but you can't see them in the photo as they are pretty much twigs about 60cms high!  Imagination is everything in this game!  Preferably lots of it!

All about Me

  • It seems to me that this has to be the most boring part of a blog...who wants to know anyway? On the offchance here's the basics: I've been married to the same person for 26 years and counting...and don't want to change. I have (we have) three handsome boys: 21/19/14 We have lived in a wonderful part of France for the past 14 years Before that we lived on a boat and sailed not around the world but around as much of it as we could for three and a half years. Before that we lived a fairly predictable life in London I started upholstery in 2002 and have been registered to work as an upholsterer since 2007. It's something I love. Since the demise of my husband's toy business we have both had more time on our hands which we have filled with animals: bees, chickens, geese, ducks and a couple of weaners Life is good but we are not living the good life!
