A Woodland Vegetable Garden

6th June 2018 · By thewoodlandwife

The Woodland Wife - Woodland Vegetable Garden - Grow Your Own

When we first received planning to convert the woodland office into a dwelling, our home – it was September 2013, Autumn was setting in so our plans to start creating a garden were put on hold until the Spring. By Spring 2014 we had a 9 month old daughter and we were keen to create a space for her and…

A weekend wander in a blue haze of bluebells

21st May 2018 · By thewoodlandwife

The Woodland Wife - Kent Bluebell Woods - Nellie Quats Linen Pinafore - Bluebells - Blue Haze

Over the past few weeks we have been enjoying a daily assault on our senses here in the woods. Each morning as we opened our garden door, the scent of bluebells filled the air. A short wander into the woods and we were greeted by a magical sight: a carpet of blue, a haze of delicate flowers that stretched right out…

You’re never too old to climb a tree – The benefits of tree climbing

6th December 2017 · By thewoodlandwife

The Woodland Wife - WoolOvers - Womens Pure Wool Clothing - Life in the woods - Slow Living - You're never too old to climb a tree

As a child growing up in London, I remember regularly climbing trees in Richmond Park as well as in our own garden. I’d climb the beautiful Eucalyptus tree at the edge of the garden with my sisters, as well as my favourite baby doll Rupert. Oddly once we moved to the countryside at the age of 10, I rarely climbed…

Go anywhere, Do anything with The all-new Jeep Compass 2018 – Recalculating Tour

28th November 2017 · By thewoodlandwife

I have often written about the lifestyle choice my husband and I have made, both as individuals, and then as we coupled up in living ‘off the beaten track’, not subscribing to the fast paced ‘London Life’. For us, living away from it all (if you can say that in the South East of England!) had far more appeal than…

Recently I set up a poll on Instagram stories asking what people would like to see more of on my feed as well as here; more nature posts or more about us around our home. The result was pretty much 50/50, I did however pick up a lot of DMs from people with suggestions of what they would be interested…

On a mild Autumn morning…

9th November 2017 · By thewoodlandwife

The Woodland Wife - Thought Clothing - Check Dress - Ethical Clothing - Bianca Jones Jewellery

With Winter fast approaching (sorry for the reminder folks!) the vegetable garden is in a dreadful state, the willow fence that I made for the sweet peas the first year I grew them has fallen apart and the planters, raised beds and cut flower beds are in desperate need of a tidy up. Autumn and it’s beautiful spectacle ‘letting go’…

Made for Adventure – Half term fun with Micro Scooters

1st November 2017 · By thewoodlandwife

The Woodland Wife - Made for Adventure - Mini Micro Scooter - Customised Scooter

As a mother there have been times when a small bribe is the only way to see ‘results’; my daughter’s thumb sucking had reached new levels and with the start of school looming something substantial was needed to break the habit, this was where I had a brainwave and my bribery plan was hatched! “Darling, if you stop sucking your thumb…

What it’s really like living in the woods

15th March 2017 · By thewoodlandwife

The Woodland Wife - What it's like living in the woods

We have happily enjoyed our woodland together for nearly 10 years now; it is where Paul’s oak framing business has always been, where we spent most weekends when renting various properties throughout our relationship. It was in this magical place that he proposed to me, the place we celebrated our wedding with all our friends and family and nursed our hangovers…

Learning from my mistakes & Listening to my Maternal Instincts.

3rd March 2017 · By thewoodlandwife

The Woodland Wife - Learning from my mistakes & Listening to Maternal Instincts

My little bird follows me around our home and outdoors as children do, however in doing this, she often adopts my pace and takes on small jobs that I need a hand with. This is wonderful in many respects, as seeing myself and her daddy working hard and always having a project on the go will surely mean that she will…

  • Flecks of green are returning to the woods.
  • I might have been up most of the night for a week now and we have no heating in our freezing tatty home, BUT it’s all about finding joy in the little things right?
...Like being up and out together, layered up collecting eggs and whispering excitedly while we watch the deer that graze just yards from the house each day ✨

Have a happy Sunday one and all, here’s to those little joys xx
  • Ready to unfurl
  • When I watch these two, I often wonder how much Birdie will remember of these days since her sister arrived, as well as if she’ll remember the time before, just me and her.
Anyone out there who has a 5 year age gap with their sibling, or their own children who have any insight?
