A new batch of cards Gabriella’s designed to fundraiser for her trip to Kenya next year. Aiming to drop some off at Moonko this week. She’s a talented girl. #design #cards #colour #madeinsheffield #printing

It feels like I’m bouncing from one webinar to another recently. This Wednesday lunchtime I’m really pleased to be presenting the retrofit of our house to the Mesh #Meshwork community. I’ll be talking about what works we did to make our 1970 semi low energy, incredibly comfortable and healthy. I’ll be picking up on all the wins of the process, but I’ll also discuss targetting #enerphit and, despite doing everything right, not quite making it. The session will count towards your CPD and you can register here without being a member using code MWHEM. https://lnkd.in/edf2RUS7 Look forward to seeing people on Wednesday. #retrofit #betterliving #notesfromasmallpractice

A terrible week in terms of my ongoing sinus issues… but I managed to host a webinar on building in your garden on Wednesday. I really enjoyed it, despite the technical issues. Ended up being really topical as this year’s @architectsjournal small projects winner was a garden build. #hemarchitects #betterliving #architecture #notesfromasmallpractice

When I started @hemarchitects , I wanted to help people stay in the places they love, but in homes that actually work for them. Garden development isn’t just about selling off land. It’s often about a family staying together or a couple being able to retire comfortably without leaving the area they love. These are the real, and tangible, results we’ve achieved for a number of wonderful clients over the years and that’s the hidden value I’m excited to talk about on April 29th. /our-approach/unlock-the-hidden-value-of-your-garden/ I’m starting to prepare my presentation for the webinar with a little help from a @foundrycoffeeroasters Costa Rican brew in my favourite @marmadukescafe mug. #HEMArchitects #betterliving #notesfromasmallpractice

Some of the @jamstructures team went to @fizmer.house yesterday to see the steelwork progress. Whilst he’s a step back from self building this, @joshshinner knows every mm of the design of this building like the back of his hand, so it must be very gratifying to see it get to this stage. The @hemarchitects team really enjoyed helping you get this far. @lodgestudioarchitects ’s design was a brilliant one to bring to life. #architecture #paragraph84 #construction #notesfromasmallpractice @anna_bonita_e @themodernhouse @uis_llp

A few more miles on the @ononebikes “gravel” build today. It isn’t getting any easier, but I’m learning how to cope with my lack of fitness! #cycle #mtb #gravel #alifebehindbars

Well, a conversation with Simon last week and I’ve agreed to go gravel riding. New lightweight build of the @ononebikes scandal finished within the week - new @hunt.mountain wheels the only purchase. Shake down ride this morning - brutal after nearly 2 years on the full suss ebike, but perversely fun! Bring on the gravel. #bike #alifebehindbars #mtb #gravel #photooftheday

Cracking morning out in the bright, cold sunshine. Looking forward to when the trails aren’t so wet, but happily take rides like this in the meantime. #mtb #alifebehindbars #peakdistrict #sunshine #photooftheday
