Welcome to The Last Homely House!

I chose this name because JRR Tolkien, who wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings describes The Last Homely House as
“… the perfect house, whether you like food or sleep, or story telling or singing or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there is a cure for weariness, fear or sadness”.
This is what I hope my house is for all the people who visit my channel.

Kate's Stained Glass Cabin Window
I absolutely love living with coloured glass — the way the light sparkles and shimmers is pure magic! So when I built the Cabin, I always knew I wanted to include some stained glass somewhere. My friend Kathryna, who created the sensational window in my kitchen, kindly agreed to help bring that dream to life and I travelled to her workshop in Southern Ireland with my son John and his wife Anna. And here is the beautiful result!
