It all began with an love and fascination of historic houses and those who've lived in them
I adored it all - the history, the architecture, the design, the details, the craftsmanship - amazed and fascinated by the skills of those who built them.
Then there's the restoration and renovations and the changes through time...
If only these walls could talk...
The wonder and fascination of these great houses, full of history, only ever grew...
The working day, the routines, the cleaning, the cooking, the skill, the hard work, the care, the pride, the life in the kitchens, the recipes, the dinner parties, the celebrations, the visitors, the clothing and jewellery, with tales from upstairs and downstairs and the lives that were lived...

Skills and knowledge for a more sustainable and resourceful way of life - and quite often, a more simple way of life, too. With a "make-do-and-mend" mentality, with nothing going to waste, alongside promoting skilled craftsmanship and techniques and taking pride in things once more.
