We can all picture the scene, it is dark outside, the rain is falling heavily and you’re all wrapped up warm inside. There is no feeling quite like it in my opinion. I love nothing better than to be snuggled with a blanket on my sofa, fire lit and film on. The only thing that… Continue reading Norfolk Oak Wooden Briquettes – The Finest Briquettes Available

Recently my partner and I started to look in to buying our first home together.  Having studied Interior Architecture at university it is fair to say that I am going to be the picky one in this process. I love everything design related and as my other half so politely put it, I am a… Continue reading Drying Timber For Use In Our Wooden Worktops

A few nights ago I was in the middle of constructing an architecture model. I was in the process of gluing the internal walls when, rather frustratingly I glued my thumb and forefinger together with my rather strong super glue.

Normally on a Sunday I find myself feeling restless yet equally with not enough energy to actually do something. That is, until recently where the thought of watching yet another football maybe became too much for even me to bear. So in a bid to escape I put on my coat, picked up my new camera… Continue reading Am I The Only One Fascinated By The Fact That A Tree Becomes A Worktop?!

Last Saturday I woke at a friend’s house feeling rather lethargic and not quite so together – self-inflicted from a late night – my hair was a mess and I looked quite the character in my red reindeer pyjama bottoms (they’re my partners so no judging please!). I walked out onto the landing and came… Continue reading Damaged Your Wooden Worktop? We Can Help

The myth of cheap goods from China and the Far East, and more recently from Eastern Europe, is finally collapsing.  Having had years of importing deflation, whilst blindly exporting hard currency, suddenly we wake up to the fact that they have all our money, and all the drivel we bought needs replacing. The market is… Continue reading Anmer Hall’s 500 Year Old Oak Tree

Over the Christmas period everyone was waiting in anticipation for the snow to fall enabling us to have that perfect festive feel.
