We had our coffee machine installed on Monday and we had some training too! Miles and I shall have a play/practise at the weekend… anyone for a coffee or a hot chocolate? (I made sure I have some of the white chocolate delivered too… it’s brilliant).
We don’t open till 3rd April, but does this mean we are [...]
I always say that finally getting to that stage where a new carpet can be laid after months of looking at a building site, is when you’ve turned the corner.
We are now on the home straight. We had the whole Tearooms carpetted yesterday and today… hoorah!
I do realise that unlike putting the carpet into a [...]
Thought I would update you on the latest goings-on with the Refurb at The Tally Ho Tearooms!
Well in the last two weeks, Miles has finished a two week slog of painting the ceilings, with at least three coats of paint! Then there are all the walls which have been painted, sometimes up to 4 coats. Nearly [...]
The Tearooms is coming along nicely! Miles has been “painting for Britain” and as soon as he’d finished the whole of the house, he started on Tearooms and the taking down of walls, half of the old pub bar, ripping up the rotten carpet and demolishing the bonket seating.
Ok, so who knows what “bonket seating” is then? [...]
Here is my latest scrapbook page layout. It’s a 12×12 page and I’ve kept it simple. That’s my order of the day so that I can get some scrapping done in between researching equipment and furniture for the Tearooms!
The papers are from the “Wisteria Collection” from Basic Grey and I printed the pictures altogether on [...]
Today was a bit of a sad day for me, as I had to bury one of my Koi. Oscar just didn’t make it through, what with the move from the old house to the holding tank and then into the new pond, coupled with the very cold weather we have just had.
He was about [...]
I finally set up the holding page for the new Tearooms website this evening! There’s not much to see at the moment, but if you want to take a look the address is http://TheTallyHoTearooms.co.uk
The graphics will undoubtedly change between now and the opening/launch, but it should give a feel for the period if nothing [...]
A really multi-photo layout sketch this month! Please excuse the shading… the scanner was having a funny half hour! This sketch is based on a layout by Rosemary Merry in the December 2009 (and sadly last ever) issue of Scrapbook Inspirations Magazine.

CHALLENGE
And so to the challenge… Hmmm… let’s try limiting supplies! As I have moved [...]
I’ve had a few requests for more pictures of the cake which I iced for Honey’s 6th Birthday last month (posted at THIS post), so here are some close ups of the cake (below).
I did use some scrapbooking supplies on this project! The wings are cut from a sheet of acetate and I used Stickles [...]
Oh yes indeed… I have a Special Announcement to make!
I am moving house on Tuesday! Twice in fact and yes… just before Christmas!
Twice because we have to stay in a holiday cottage for about a week in order to sort out the new house as it has been empty for a year and things like… [...]
