Today I spent about 4 hrs driving in the car and all because I had to move far away from where I need to be due to the ongoing housing crisis . It’s crap I don’t want this it’s unfair . All I need is a simple life with access to land for a low impact dwelling that I could make myself .
Unless people have a housing problem themselves there is little support to lobby councils to amend planning laws to include opd ‘s as is inWales .
Yet farmers are allowed to build holiday let’s in open farmland whilst people who cannot afford to live in houses are forced to hide out in back gardens in tents and caravan s . It’s really sh*te and I feel really angry and let down . I don’t even want to be in a frigging car on a hot day doing school runs that take 1 he each way arrrgggggghhhh!!!!!!!!!! Infuriating!!!! I have a child in school doing exams .

To all my customers and clients , thankyou for supporting my business during this year. Its been a rollercoaster of a ride but I seem to have made a lot of products and sold a fair bit along the way.
Here is to a Happy and Healthy New year to all and may this Earth and it's people know what peace truly is!

Hay castle all day today …,,,,, come and buy something warm for Christmas! 🤗🎄🎄🎄🎄🐏🐏

We're excited to announce that Heritage Crafts is part of a national campaign designed to support makers and encourage shoppers to BUY LESS, BUY BETTER, BUY HANDMADE this Christmas.

We've teamed up with Folksy, Craft Festival, Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair, Find a Maker and the Crafts Council, and it’s supported by our co-chair Jay Blades MBE plus Keith Brymer Jones and Sue Pryke

Our message is that we don't need to fill our shopping baskets with piles of mass-produced presents to have a wonderful Christmas. Instead we can give one really well-crafted, unique gift - handmade with passion, made to last. We want everyone to

Nick Hand from the Letter Press Collective has created a beautiful poster to celebrate the launch of the campaign, which will be available to buy soon.

Our Director Daniel will be going live at 1pm today with Camilla from Folksy, Sarah from Craft Festival, Anne-Maire from the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair and Nicky from Crafts Council to talk about why we've started the campaign – and how important it is to start rethinking how we shop and come together to support makers.
