Image of the Week #6
This one’s for Owen, our eldest son who spotted the colours of these trees earlier this week when we were up in the tower. He has just arrived in Canada, on an exchange trip, and is no doubt enjoying the Canadian fall. We are all missing him terribly but are also very proud of his brave adventuring spirit! He has…

A big day…
It’s been a big day today for our eldest son Owen, who received his GCSE results. He did very well with a good collection of A* and A grades, a couple of B’s and a C in Welsh First Language which is a small miracle as we aren’t a Welsh speaking family! Restoration life doesn’t seem to have hindered his…

A break away.
We have just returned from a much needed break in our dear caravan. We travelled down to the Quantock Hills in Somerset. Spent our days fossil hunting on the beaches… The coastline was lined with banks of wildflowers which were a delight. We dodged the showers and had some wonderful walks up and down ‘coombs’. And cycled up and over…

We’re not tired of it yet,…

Restoration works have taken a back seat for a while due to us all spending our days getting to know the little fellow and trying to catch up on some sleep. However we need to pick up…

Season’s Greetings
It’s late on Christmas Eve but wanted to take this opportunity to wish all the very best of the Season’s Greetings from a very snowy Christ Church. The house build has progressed over the last few weeks with flooring and stud walls appearing upstairs. It’s amazing as you can really make sense of the layout and see the shape of…

The Secret Garden
The South West corner of the churchyard wall houses an old oak door locked and half buried. It was the gate which the Earls of Powis used to access Christ Church after walking along the footpath across the outer park from Powis Castle. With the kind permission of the Trustees of Powis Castle Estate we have transformed this overgrown entrance…
