Re: Hose pipe ban 😔

Hello! As in previous years, if you're concerned about getting those plants watered, just give me a shout.

This is a free of charge service aimed solely at those that may struggle with lifting heavy watering cans and perhaps more specifically high up to water their hanging baskets.

Sadly I don't have the time to water entire gardens, I have an allotment plot that needs attention too!

If you or if you know someone that may benefit, please do drop me a message.

All the very best, Alex 🌻

Whether it's kitchen units supplied by someone else or bespoke carcasses and door fronts made by me, I'll happily see your project through.

Here the units await worktops to be supplied by A.N Other.

Last night saw me take to The Old Mill pub in Berkhamsted. 🍻

This is the localist pub to me and wow it was busy!

On approach I was guessing the crowds weren't down to watch the golf highlights, and instead across every screen possible (both inside and out) the England football match was being televised. ⚽

I'm not a football fan in that I no longer support a domestic team, but this England team at this world cup has been somewhat of a beacon of hope and unifying.

As someone who doesn't drink alcohol I often enter these environments with some trepidation and unease as to my own ability to deal with the stereotypes given off by excitable drinkers.

Fear not... although it was at times shoulder to shoulder busy (specifically at the bar area) the atmosphere throughout the evening remained friendly and polite. There were no squabbles at the bar and shouts of "me next" it was "after you" and "he's first". ❤️🥰

The bar staff were exceptional in that they were efficient, fast paced, alert to customers, engaging and just everything you would like to experience be it in a quiet or incredibly busy pub such as last night. They were and are a solid team. 🎖️🏆

When I moved to Berkhamsted during the Covid pandemic it was a particularly tough time for local businesses and The Old Mill was struggling. Fast forward to today and the new owners are making this place work ... sorry, they are making the pub fly! ✈️

The pub is a great place to be whether, like me, you drop in and do some paperwork, grab some food or even catch the football. In fact, on Monday, I'm even attending an art class there in the evening! Oh, and it's air-conditioned too!

Perhaps I'll see you down there on Wednesday for hopefully some more heroism from our Lions! 🦁🦁🦁

I'm often asked "What kind of things do you do?"

My usual response is that it's easier to name the things I don't do. They are plumbing and digging holes.

Whether it's designing and building bespoke wardrobe space and storage solutions to electrical works and decorating of your home. I'll carry out these jobs and everything in-between.

Oh, and yes, I'll carry out those 'smaller' jobs too.

Zero obligation quotes and zero pressure from me, guaranteed.

I look forward to helping you through your next project, Alex 😊

Many of you know that I have a plot on one of the allotments in Berkhamsted and for me it is my garden and personal outdoor space.

I have a busy life and the aim is to enjoy the space rather than it being another place of work.

With that in mind I headed to a local garden nursery in search of some low maintenance plants.

I really want to shout out to Luke at Four Acres Garden Nursery and indeed the team there.

I had driven past their nursery many times before today but I had never ventured in.

Today I stepped over the threshold and filled my trolley with hardy perennials.

All members of the team greeted me with a fondness and warmth that I had forgotten existed in some aspects of the service and retail sectors.

This is a true, family run, local business that absolutely deserves the support from the local community.

A thoroughly pleasant shopping experience with an incredibly vast amount of products and varieties to suit both the current season and grasses and architectural plants to give height and structure the year through...oh...and their hanging baskets looked spectacular!

I will be back!

🙃 It's a bit of a crazy period in my personal life right now and I am extremely grateful for the support my clients have given me. 🙂

Whether it's through giving me the time to get quotes together or being flexible with dates, the support has been both generous and greatly appreciated 🙏

Likewise, I absolutely understand that life happens.
So, should you need to change a booking, that is never a problem. Please do always know that there is never any additional pressure from me.

🔄 I think a corner is now being turned and I welcome any recommendations that you're able to give both to your own connections and those on the Facebook and WhatsApp groups you're in.

🏆 Many thanks as always.
You are the best of the best, Alex

P. S don't forget to eat ice-cream as well as applying sunscreen 🍦👍 🌞

From my home to yours, I wish you a very happy new year.

In the communities that I work, I see positivity, people helping and looking out for one another.

I see neighbours being, well, neighbourly.

The news will tell you a story of a troubled world.

But when we look up from our screens and move away from the radio and other media sources and step outside, we see that the place we live is full of kindness and compassion.

My New Year's resolution is to spend less time in the world transmitted through my phone screen, and more time stepping outside and looking up.

What are your New Year's resolutions?

Many thanks to all who support me, as always.

I have much to be thankful for.

Not least the support past and present clients have given me.

To be welcome into your homes and carry out works for you is a privilege.

To then see you continuing to support me by making recommendations is a beautiful gift.

Thank you for the continued support.
Whether it's by inviting me to carry out projects for you or by putting me forward for other people's projects, I am truly honoured.

Thank you and I hope you can all enjoy this time of year with the people that make your lives special.

See you in the new year!

Alex ❤️
