Today we celebrate 100 years of Laura Ashley, a true icon of timeless design. At our Welsh farmhouse, her vision continues to inspire how we live, decorate, and care for our heritage. From supporting local crafts to using sustainable materials, her legacy still shapes life at Plas Uchaf farm.

Late May brought a slow morning and a day trip to Nantclwyd y Dre in Ruthin, the oldest timber-framed house in Wales and one of our favourite historic places to wander. We arrived just in time for a wildflower sale in the garden, where we picked up native species like oxeye daisy, red campion, and bird’s-foot trefoil to try back at the farm. Since going no-input (no chemicals, no fertilisers), we’ve watched wildflowers return.
