The twin bedroom in Velveteen was designed with younger guests in mind, but has enough grown up charm to work for adults too. I still absolutely love the headboards, made bespoke for us by Niche | Home Store Barnard Castle using Mark Hearld fabric. Floor to ceiling horizontal panelling cocoons the room, painted in Fenwick & Tilbrook - Premium Heritage Paints Timeless - a lovely soft off white which changes depending on the light.

Apple pie with apples from the garden for pudding today. The pastry effort is shockingly bad. I don’t know why but it always just falls apart when I roll it and attempt to transfer to the dish. What am I doing wrong? Chilled for 45 mins, quantities to the letter. Pastry just doesn’t like me. But I love it. And I know it’ll taste good despite its appearance!

Good morning from North Yorkshire. We are blessed with this stunning vista just a few minutes walk from the house. Looking out towards the famous Wainstones walk.

We’ve just been to MIMA art gallery in Middlesbrough - the host of this year’s I enjoyed the work of all 4 artists but this installation by Kira Freije was something else. Haunting figures made from steel and aluminium. Loved it.

🍁 Added a smidgeon of Autumnal vibes to the snug this week. Found a gorgeous little knitted garland in Kemps General Store & Bookshop and thought it was just the right side of cute. Knitted acorns and leaves hinting at the change of seasons outside. 🍁

We have a rare few days free this week at Velveteen so we’ve taken the opportunity of zhuzhing up the garden as well as giving the house another deep clean. I did not anticipate the effort involved in replanting pots this size. The weight of the old shrub’s rootball was phenomenal! Sadly the previous occupants were victims of the long hot summer ☀️

The entrance to the SPA area looking perky again 👌

Dusky view looking in towards the house.

Hot tub looking rather inviting this evening…

It’s been an exquisite day here in Helmsley but looks like rain on the way.. Good for the pots!

Early evening light spilling into the kitchen ❤️

A cheeky reward for a hard days labour La Trattoria Helmsley Pizza on the way 🍕

Had a great day at Stokesley Show yesterday. It’s a real celebration of country life and farming. So many perfect specimens of animal and plant life. Had a soft spot for the hens and goats and totally loved the giant veg as always.. 🥕
