What a weekend! We saw the King and Queen on their What a weekend! We saw the King and Queen on their way to and from the abbey. In the carriages behind were the Wales and Edinburgh families with the Princess Royal following on horseback. We couldn’t believe how close we were to the balcony- to actually see the Royal Family and to see the fly past was just amazing. 
A weekend we’ll never forget! 🇬🇧👑🥂

Yesterday- for the first time- I went to Haworth, Yesterday- for the first time- I went to Haworth, famous of course for the Brontes. I chose the outfits from @piccadillymainstreet that I’ll be modelling in the charity fashion event at @cobblesandclay on Friday night (details in my previous post). Piccadilly is such a fabulous shop- beautiful independent clothing and accessory lines and the loveliest staff. I’m really looking forward to the fashion show but also to spending more time in Haworth- definitely worth a day out.

We dined at @cheftomshepherd’s Michelin Star restaurant @rest_upstairs. (Tom happens to be their son). If you watched the latest series of @greatbritishmenu you’ll have seen Tom and his stunning dishes. We had the most amazing time and it was a privilege to meet Tom and his team. The food deserves a blog post and a grid carousel of its own. Coming soon…

@built_in_1873 Today Ian and I moved into our fi @built_in_1873 

Today Ian and I moved into our first joint home. We viewed it back in September 2022 and it was love at first sight. The period features, fireplaces, the character and the extensive gardens captured our imagination. We knew it would be the perfect forever home.
The house was designed by renowned British architect Richard Norman Shaw in 1873. In a former life it was the vicarage to the now demolished local church. In 1973 it was split into two dwellings and gained Grade II Listed Building status.
It doesn't need any urgent or immediate remedial work but we know from the survey that the roof will need replacing/repairing as will the majority of the original, single-glazed sash windows (frames) and part of the conservatory. We'd like to move the kitchen and repurpose the existing kitchen space. We have so many dreams and plans- we want chickens, a greenhouse and a veg patch. It will be a series of projects- cosmetic, functional and essential-and we cannot wait to begin.
We're looking forward to sharing our progress as we slowly and sympathetically put our own stamp on this beautiful building. Please follow us on our brand new account @built_in_1873 and on my blog (whatlizzyloves.com).
