Look at these restored beauts glistening in the sun! Okay, we may have gone a little more bling than they originally were, but I think you’ll agree they look much better! They will be reinstalled in the entrance hall and will add a bit more glam! Special thanks to Mobile Sand Blasting, Galston for cleaning them up and then arranging for them to be powder coated! Great job! Another thing ticked off the rather long list 🤣 ... See MoreSee Less

It’s all happening at Home Cook School today! Local landscapers Campbell Land Management, are here and working their magic! 🚜🚜Our planning consent requires us to widen the access on Balvaird Rd and to close the access from the A77 trunk road.

Needless to say, I am most excited about the plants and flowers! 🪴🪴🌹🌹🌷🌷🌸🌸🌻🌻 ... See MoreSee Less

Out with the old... and lots of filling cracks, sanding and ‘spring’ cleaning this week at Richmond Hall. Next week the painters are going start in the main hall (a very big job)! We also said goodbye to this ancient oven which was situated in what will be the utility room. We will be definitely be using more modern equipment at Home Cook School! 🤣We had these lovely cast iron radiators from the vestibule sand blasted, ready for painting (or powder coating). This will help to improve the entrance which needs a bit of TLC. Thanks Mobile Sand BlastingI’ll keep you posted on the refurbishment! ... See MoreSee Less
