I moved to Woodstock on 31st July 2016 having worked at a computer for the previous 17 years.
My motivation was to welcome visitors to Devon where I had holidayed regularly as a child as my mum was from Ilfracombe, in the hope that they would enjoy it as much as I do; that they might leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. My first visitors arrived on 4th August 2016 and I have been welcoming guests ever since, many of whom return.
My second motivation was to get back to being creative once more – I studied Textile Design in my youth and have always loved making things. An art studio was built in my garden in the autumn of 2017 and in May 2019 I was fortunate enough to acquire an old Swedish loom which inspired me to set up a small sewing business “Spencer Jones Textiles & Sewing Services”. I have a large cutting table for curtain making, a dressmaking machine, an industrial straight stich and an embroidery machine.
