Bonjour everyone,

Hope you're all well! We've just dropped a new video and I'm genuinely excited about this one. You can watch it here:

So, the attic insulation saga has officially begun. We're using wood fibre insulation, which we love for an old house like ours, but cutting it to fit snugly between the roof battens? That's another story. Hugo, being Hugo, spent an entire day designing and building a custom jig that lets us slice each piece to the exact size we need. Honestly, even if insulation isn't your thing, it's worth watching just to see this contraption in action. I was so impressed. It turned what could have been a really tedious job into something almost satisfying.

In other news, I finally tackled the greenhouse. It's been bugging me since I painted it white last week. The colour was just too bright and felt a bit out of place. After way too long deliberating, I went with Farrow & Ball's London Stone, which is this lovely warm greige that feels so much more at home here. The full vision is to repaint the main gate in a soft green and re-render the wall beside it, and I think once it all comes together it's going to completely transform that corner of the garden.

I know the attic insulation is a slow burn. We're sorry it's taking a while, but this is very much a marathon, not a sprint, and we'd rather do it properly than rush through it. The good news is we have loads of garden projects lined up that keep us sane between insulation sessions, and honestly, getting outside after a day up in the attic is the best reward. Expect to see a lot more of the garden in upcoming videos.

À bientôt,

Hugo & Romy
