Two projects visited today in & around Kingsbridge. Dan & I often work on our own projects & check in as we go, but today with both sites nearby we were able to spend the day working together, just like we did when we first started out.

Our first visit was to a Listed shop front that was sadly damaged when a car crashed into it late last year. We’re now preparing the consent required for its careful reconstruction.

The second was a beautiful residential property tucked further into the South Hams, where we’re exploring external landscaping, solar shading and outdoor pool proposals.

This Sunday 17th May, Crayon Partner Dan is running the Plymouth Half Marathon in memory of our daughter Sophie, raising money through Sophie's Smiles to support neonatal care at Derriford Hospital.

Dan has been dedicated to his training and inspiring our 2nd daughter Heidi along the way!

Sophie wasn’t premature, but she was very poorly and spent over three weeks in NICU. Over the following 4 months, our lives were shared between Derriford and Bristol Children’s Hospital, and the care, compassion and dedication of the teams in both hospitals meant more to our family than words can say.

It’s been a little while since we’ve done anything in Sophie’s memory, but this feels like the right moment to do something positive and purposeful in her name.

Plymouth Hospitals General Charity supports the work of University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, funding equipment, facilities and family support that go beyond what NHS funding alone can provide.

A slightly delayed Happy New Year!

Thank you for a lovely Christmas quiz & breakfast. The weather was miserable, but this event always feels like the start of Christmas celebrations.

Our table somehow pulled off another quiz win (3 yrs in a row!) At this point I’m convinced we should take the team national! I'll bring the pens and snacks 😂 🎄

Thanks to the committee for organising such a warm & relaxed event. So nice to see everyone, hear from the charities & catch up.
