New Horizons and magical places.
August 4, 2026
The folklore and legends are from the book Magical Britain by Rob Wildwood. https://link.amazon/B05c1d2ws
Join my family and me as we explore enchanted places in Pembrokeshire, Wales. We visit Abermawr beach, St David's, Abereiddi beach and the Blue Lagoon, Tenby, Manorbier castle, Freshwater East beach, and St Goran's chapel. It was so fun discovering the history and old stories about these places.

An Enchanted afternoon.
May 26, 2026
Come see me at Open Studios! https://www.seos-art.org/studio-g/helen-hobden/
In this week's vlog the girls take me to Bradford-on-Avon for a Mothers' Day afternoon tea on a narrow boat! It was quite magical! There's also an update on our new veranda build; we visit Glastonbury Reclamation yard, and I add a little spring decor to our old farmhouse. I visit the beautiful Forest Lodge Open Garden scheme garden, and rescue some vintage embellishments from old theatre costumes. We also have a classic British barbecue in the rain!
