We are nature I am extremely excited to be an official ambassador for SeaTheFutureA fundraising platform that supports science backed ocean & sea conservation projects.
Wife appreciation Last week I posted a performance video of my wife online saying how proud I was of her and over 4 million people watched it and flooded with messages of kindness for both her talent and the support we have for each other.

The Floating Terrarium 🪴
When I heard there was a boat with over 180 houseplants inside it I knew I had to get myself inside and have a look.
I was introduced to Mia by a mutual friend and was fascinated by her unique story of how she came to create the floating terrarium.
Mia entered an interior design competition with airbnb where she had to draw the plans to create a unique guest stay. As a lover of botanicals & the water she had the idea of a floating guesthouse filled with an abundance of plants.
After winning the competition airbnb helped fund some of the project but Mia took it upon herself to do almost all of the hard work. She had the boat built as an empty shell and drew plans to convert the space and make every detail exactly as she dreamed of.
I was lucky enough to spend the night there and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t somewhat envious of the space, natural light & central heating.
If you ever want a unique stay in London then I can definitely recommend booking to stay here 🌱

Time for another van update 🚐
We have been full steam ahead this week continuing with the van renovation and it was time to start laying the base for the floor.
We bought wood battens from a local wood supplier and built a frame to help level everything out and create a grid for the insulation to be fitted.
We insulated with PIR board as it’s very lightweight and used the old floor as a template for the new one.
Next step is electrics and then we can start on the carpentry 🔨
