Athens
Inspiration can be taken from objects, lifestyles or history amongst other things.
Athens is a place full of historical importance. There is a lot to see in and around the town's old buildings. It's amazing to think that these buildings have been standing for hundreds of years, showing the skills of the builders of their time.
Did you know, the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896, reviving the ancient tradition.

Lulworth Castle Visit
Every day is a school day.
Learning about places is to be inspired.
My family and I have a yearly membership with English Heritage and The National Trust. Visiting these places and seeing how life would have been all those years ago is good talking point.
I love seeing all the art, and workmanship of the times. This particular building was destroyed in a fire so you can really see the bones of it all.

Changing rooms
Making a new room from stuff already in the house.
Our home is a working progress and has been this way since we moved in.
Over time the needs of the rooms and house have changed with the four children growing.
The time has come to rearrange the smallest room in the house. Using only items we had around, the room has been transformed and only in 5 hours.
We did some bed and furniture swapping. There will be a few changes going forward, such as replacing the ceiling light and installing some shelves and a mirror.
