We’ve been in The House now for over a year and a half, and whilst we have made some massive progress, renovation wise, we are still getting to know the house. It’s an old house, like many houses back in England are – but, and it’s a very big but – has been built in a […]

The Snug #1
We’re finally beginning to tackle the room which we’ve rarely gone into – the indoor cellar. ( *indoor* because we also have an outdoor cellar). This room sits under the living room, but feels joined to the house because the staircase down, is open. We had thought this would be a problem, heat-wise, but it’s […]
What’s It All About?
As we do what we do with our lives, our travels, our renovation project and our design work, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to keep everything, online, streamlined and easy to understand. Some people will know about what we’re doing with the house. Some will know we design websites for a living. Some will […]
The Secret Garden
OK, so those of you who have visted us, will know that our garden isn’t very secret at the moment. Although not overlooked, and quite spacious, we have no boundary walls (but shhh…don’t mention the *b* word in case our obsessive neighbour overhears!) and so it’s all quite open at the moment. There doesn’t appear […]
Sunny Sunday…
The intense heat of summer seems to have receded. Fans are no longer constantly whirring and the early morning sunlight is not quite as blinding in our bedroom, which is blessed with the most gorgeous sunrise views. Summer is still clinging on though – it is very warm during the day and we haven’t seen […]
The Internet…
Initially, it seems that *everything* in Croatia is complicated and fraught with much dramarama. Getting utility bills put into your name, buying a car, finding where to buy paint and white goods and furniture, getting car & house insurance, knowing how to hop across borders, opening a bank account, arranging a mobile phone, getting residency […]
New EasyJet Routes
Please note this is NOT a sponsored post. No payment/freebies have been, or will be, received for this post. I just saw these new routes and thought that people might be interested. Especially in the new route from Liverpool to Pula which begins 29th July 2018. This route is great for getting out to us […]
Istria Week Round Up
Since we returned from Rovinj last Sunday, this week has largely been a week of heads down and getting on with work. We’re very lucky that we can continue our business from here, and so shouldn’t really complain when we are in front of a computer screen, when it’s hot outside. Luckily, we’ve also had […]
It’s Coming Home…
Every four years we love our football fest that is the World Cup. But this year has been very different for a number of reasons. Firstly, my beloved Italia failed to even qualify for this World Cup. Although I am resigned to them usually going out, non-qualification has made this particular tournament a little bit […]
