If Carlesberg made tree houses. . . . !!

This blog post is dedicated to my clever hubby who is building the most fantastic tree house for our three lovelies :O)


Weve lived in our house for just over 3 years now, it has flown by and we are all very settled here. We havent got a huge garden, but its a nice size for the five us :O) and we all enjoy it (for one reason or another)!
Anyway down at the very bottom of the garden is a steep bank and on the bank lives a fantastic, very well established tree. The moment we moved in I could see the boys (Mr Poppyseed included!!!) eyeing it up.  Talk of tree houses has dominated the tea table ever since!

Eventually plans were drawn up and last summer and work began. A jolly good start was made before work came to a stand still over the winter :O( BUT the recent sunny spell has meant a fresh burst of enthusiasm from hubby and the boys (yay) and tools have once again been picked up and its looking absolutely fab!!  



I know strictly speaking its not actually IN the tree, but it is right next door and it will eventually be linked to the tree by a bridge! So I think it qualifies for 'Tree House Status'!!

There is still a fair way to go with it but everyone is enjoying 'helping', even Poppys had her hand in.

Toby doing what boys do best (scaring their mums by climbing too high!))



Please note the concentration!!


Poppy 'helping' !!



Ironically as I have just finished writing this it has started to spit with rain!! . . . . Come back soon sunshine, weve a tree house to finish :O) XX
