Ah thank you Carmen, so glad you decided to step inside the storied walls and cottage garden and that it felt inviting, cosy and calm. I feel like these are all things we long for and need!

Thank you so much and for all of your support over this year, it has been a joy to connect with you here and find that we have walked similar paths (and streets!) over the years xx
