@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).

I’m so grateful to Poppy and Harry for the gift of motherhood 💕💙And Granny @petpau67 never disappoints!! She’s the best and most bonkers mum and granny we all could wish for xxx 🍰🫖 💕

Our Antipodean Adventure. Hopefully the first of m Our Antipodean Adventure. Hopefully the first of many long-haul travels and experiences. I’ve saved everything from Australia and New Zealand in a highlight if you want to see where we went, what we ate and what I wore. 🇳🇿🇦🇺🌎

The stunning place that is Lake Tekapo, New Zealan The stunning place that is Lake Tekapo, New Zealand. We took a mini road trip and stayed overnight in a fabulous lodge. I think this is the most spectacular scenery I’ve ever seen. 
It already seems a lifetime ago as I sit now at Brisbane airport waiting for our 14-hour flight to Dubai. The first leg, (Christchurch to Brisbane), took about 3.5 hours. The final leg, (Dubai to Manchester United will take about 8.5 hours). The travel pales into insignificance compared to the experiences we shared and the memories we made 🇳🇿.

I don’t think I’ve ever been as happy with a phone photo as I was when I managed to snap a pic of the dolphin! Swipe through to see more and to see my brother and I on the gorgeous pebble beach.

Today we leave Australia and head to New Zealand. Today we leave Australia and head to New Zealand. I will hug my brother and his family for the first time in almost four years. And I cannot wait. 
But I’m sad that the Australian leg of our #antipideanadventure is over. We loved every moment of being here. When at Gold Coast we stayed at @palazzoversace, the world’s first fashion hotel. Everything is beautiful from the exquisite mosaic drive, the marble floors, the stunning chandelier and the fabulous fabrics. The corridor walls are lined with photos of supermodels wearing @versace creations. The breakfast was one of the best we’ve ever had and the staff were great. We have had a little downtime- though not much- to read and sit by the pool and that has been wonderful. 
I know for certain that we’ll visit Australia again 🇦🇺♥️.

The amazing, AMAZING Alexander McQueen exhibition The amazing, AMAZING Alexander McQueen exhibition @ngvmelbourne. His work and sources of inspiration are astonishing. I adore model Shalom Harlow having her white tulle dress spray painted by robots which was the finale of McQueen’s SS99 runway show. Her grace and poise reflect the fact that she was a ballerina. I find the video utterly mesmerising.
