Wellies, Work & Weekends: The Double Life of a Farmer-Teacher-Cabin Owner

Blog /

Some people have a work-life balance. We have a work-work-work balance, with a side of sheep and a smattering of sawdust. By day (weekdays, that is), I wander through the corridors of a large city school, responsible, polished (ish), and professional. By evening and weekends, I swap the sensible shoes for wellies, the whiteboard markers for sheep feed, and the staff meetings for cabin bookings. My husband, the builder, floats somewhere in between, existing in a perpetual state of sawdust-covered brilliance.

Paul, Hear Me Out: A Tale of Bargains, Junk, and Patience

Blog /

It’s a very good job that:

Paul trusts me.
Paul has a good sense of humour.
Paul is patient.
Paul is forgiving.
Paul has a van and fetches things.
Paul knows me inside out.

Otherwise, we may not actually be celebrating 35 years of marriage this year. I might be a sad and lonely old woman, surrounded by junk and animals. But, let me tell you, these things happen to me—and more often than you’d think!

Planting Moonlight: Why We’re Creating a Moon Garden at Quabbs

Blog /

At Quabbs, we believe in creating spaces that soothe the soul and honour the land. Our latest project — a Moon Garden nestled around the rustic Sauna Shack — is designed to do just that. This gentle, sensory space will feature silvery foliage, night-blooming flowers, and soft places to sit and unwind after a sauna and cold woodland shower. But it’s not just about beauty — it’s also about supporting nature.
Moon gardens attract nighttime pollinators like moths and bats, offer shelter to wildlife, and encourage slow, sustainable gardening. It’s a space to breathe deeply, walk barefoot, and watch the stars emerge — and we’re building it slowly, thoughtfully, and with love.
Read on to discover what we’re planting, how it helps the local ecosystem, and why moonlight, meadows, and moths make such good companions.
