Proper Potter

I had lost motivation for the understairs storage, something I often do unfortunately, but I knew why with this project it was how tough drilling into the old brickwork was. Being off gave me the opportunity to get back to it and work out how to get the wall clad, little did I know that […]

The Date

Reagan’s joy

Reagan got to go to Alton Towers with school, today as a reward for attendance and sent us this photo of her riding one of the rollercoasters with her mate and both me and Mom thought it was one of the best photo’s of her showing unrestrained joy!
