All the homes I’ve lived in: @benpentreath The architect and interior designer, whose latest book, A Year in the Parsonage, is published this month, revisits the foundational buildings in his life. Read the full piece at our link in bio. Photography credit to Ben Pentreath & Charlie McCormick Homes and design editor: @aimee_farrell 20 Oct 2026

“September is the ultimate month of abundance – the garden overflowing, jungle-like; the month of harvest festival in the church, endless veg: pumpkins, sweetcorn, great cabbages, salad for ever; apples; lilies, roses in their second flowering, dahlias, asters; but also the realisation that summer is shifting relentlessly into the distance – evenings arrive just that little bit earlier, mornings later. It was always a magical time at the Parsonage: mist hanging in the valley and the copper beech beginning to form beech nuts, which would be falling all over the garden a month later.” On 20 October, designer @benpentreath joins us to talk through his new book ‘A Year at the Parsonage’, as he and his husband @mccormickcharlie prepare to begin again on the remote island of Rousay, Orkney. The book is his and Charlie’s love letter to the house: the initial vision for the garden, the daily rituals that grew up around it, and the slow accumulation of a life. 🗓️ Tuesday 20 October, 6.30pm 🌿 Join us in person or watch the livestream online, available live or on demand. 🔗 Link in bio to book 07 Oct 2026

A few snapshots from August - it’s been a lovely month with a lot going on! I finally got to write a little blog about it which is now live over at @pentreathandhall - so do have a read over there. Puffins and all sorts of other summer happiness. The last image shows my new home for the next 4 months! I’m officially a Visiting Professor at the University of Notre Dame, South Bend Indiana! I arrived last weekend and it’s been a fantastic welcome so far. In some of the pictures you’ll see my gang of students who came over to Scotland for a crazy intense visit for four days to Scottish towns, including the @tornagrain_newtown which we’re going to make the basis for the studio project this term, designing the future town centre of the Tornagrain project. We’re getting going now and I can’t wait to see how well they all do! @nd_schoolofarch 27 Aug 2026

The last of July at Westness. Unlike the parched south, Orkney has had a cool, wet summer and the garden and grass is still green and lush. The final photo shows some of Charlie’s abundant produce packed and ready to go over to the Mistra Stores, Evie! (Some people have been wondering where all the veg goes if we don’t eat it all!). 30 Jul 2026

A beautiful weekend, now on the blog over @pentreathandhall 15 Jul 2026

It’s been a beautiful few weeks in Orkney. It hasn’t been the hottest or driest summer but we’ve had our moments. The garden is looking amazing and the swims have been great! There’s a new blog over at @pentreathandhall today showing these and other travels in the last month! 06 Jul 2026

It was such a happy day at Windsor on Tuesday in the sweltering heat of this blazing June in London, when I received my OBE from HMTK - with Charlie, and with Zoe and Bridie from the studio and the shop, to watch! We were just sent these lovely photos from the day. The King was on fine form and we had a happy conversation, although we were both pretty hot in our suits! It took me back to the first time we met, a very long time ago now (final photo) to when I was a student at the incredible architectural school set up by the then Prince of Wales - this was HRH visiting the end of year summer degree show and looking at some of my drawings. Tucked in there was a design for a pub in Poundbury which got built in the first square. It’s been quite an adventure since. (For those who don’t know, it’s interesting to note that the Royal Family have nothing to do with the choices of the honours committee - although they do invest the awards). It goes without saying that the award is for work that is the hands of many people. Back in the New Year I wrote a little post about many of the friends and former colleagues who were great influences on me along the way. Thanks also to the design studio that we’ve built in London now numbering almost fifty talented and dedicated people. There are lots of wonderful and beautifully delivered projects in the office that are now, personally, nothing to do with me, but we’ve created a culture for - I hope - beauty, harmony and an attention to detail that’s second to none; it often makes me more excited to see these projects come out of the ground than the ones I’m more personally engaged with. This autumn the studio will take an interesting new direction with my departure for the University of Notre Dame where I’ll be teaching a semester in urban design and traditional architecture to the grad students; I’ll always be on the end of the phone, but for four months I’m not in London! An exciting new chapter. 27 Jun 2026

We’ve pressed print a few days ago with @quadrillebooks on ‘A Year at the Parsonage’! What a fantastic feeling, and I’m so happy to be able to share a few spreads from the book now… It’s been a lovely process looking back over our years at the Parsonage and weaving together a narrative of our time there, complete with plans of the house and the garden, and masses (we hope) of useful details of all the ingredients of the interiors and Charlie’s plantings. Getting across the final line is always a challenge - making sure (again, we hope) that there’s not a single typo or incorrectly spelled plant name; checking and double and triple checking Charlie’s recipes; carefully reading and re-reading; writing really detailed captions, and making final tweaks. But we got there! The book is published in October but you are now able to pre-order it at all good bookshops and at the various online retailers who I think we don’t always like to mention. Annoyingly, the @bookshop_org_uk only has the book to pre-order as an e-book at the moment but I will give this wonderful organisation a shout out when the print version is available there. And soon, too, we’ll be opening up pre-orders at @pentreathandhall I know it sounds strange but pre-orders now do make a difference to how a book does. I have this intelligence from my lovely friend who works in publishing. On another note I remember all too well when my previous book, An English Vision, sold out everywhere almost instantly, so if you want to be sure of getting a copy, pre-ordering is not a terrible idea either. Either way, and whatever your motives, Charlie and I are extremely grateful for the wonderful early reaction we’ve had to the idea of the book when we first posted about it a few weeks ago. Thank you! October is not too far away now….! 12 Jun 2026

I’ve been away a bit - last weekend I was in magical Florence for some work but also staying with friends. It’s been quite a busy week in London. But today I was able to head north and there is nothing better than the various stages of the journey rolling by - you can get your emails done in stages, and tick things off the to-do list, always a good feeling, then you are in the tiny loganair flight, then there’s the moment I love so much when you descend down and the many islands of Orkney are spread out in the shimmering sea below you. Coming into land. I waited at Kirkwall to meet Charlie who randomly this week needs to make a rare trip down south for a day today and tomorrow… picked up the car, made my way to the Rousay ferry, then home. At each stage another layer of London stress is just left behind. I got home this afternoon to the most incredible bluebells. Westness is of course famous for its bluebells and when we’ve finished the renovation works which will be getting going soon enough, we’ll certainly revive the old tradition of the ‘bluebell teas’ in the garden. This year, spring has been colder and wetter up in Orkney than last, and as a result the bluebells at are their absolute peak moment just now. It was magical seeing it all and taking the dogs for a loop when I got home. A beautiful evening here on Rousay, although I think we’re going to avoid the London heatwave. 21 May 2026

Here are some photographs which make me very happy, and may be of interest to some followers! Two weekends ago, Charlie and I went back down to Littlebredy for a wonderful celebratory service for the restoration of the church windows. If you’re a long term follower, you may remember that about five years ago we started a fundraising campaign to raise money for the restoration of the stained glass windows in our little church. The total cost of restoring the windows and stonework was almost £100,000. The church received an amazingly generous donation in memory of a local person who had sadly died, but we still had a huge shortfall. Instagram and my blog stepped in! We set up a JustGiving page, and within a short period of time very generous followers had raised over £30,000. Grant funding made the rest. It took a long time to get approval for the works from the Diocesan Approval Committee but we got there in the end, and for the last year, Dan Humphries, the stained glass expert, carefully worked his away around the church, accompanied by Simon Crumbleholme the (brilliantly named) builder, who restored the stone frames. It’s now all finished and the church is in amazing condition for the long term.  It was lovely to be back in the village after all this time for the service, and I’ve written a little blog about this and the following weekend up in Orkney. If you follow @pentreathandhall you’ll know that we have a regular newsletter which comes out weekly and also my intermittent blog with lots of posts from Rousay and other travels. Be sure to sign up! But thank you to everyone here who contributed. It took a long time, but we got there! 09 May 2026

This week, something very exciting arrived at Westness… what’s called the ‘dummy’ for the new book that @mccormickcharlie and I have been writing for the last year about our time in Dorset, being published by @quadrillebooks this October. The pages are still completely blank (so it’s like a beautiful new notebook) but everything else about the book is exactly as it will be on publication day. Publishers do this so that you can hold and feel the weight of the book in your hands. When you’ve been looking at screens and print outs, there’s no substitute for holding a physical object to feel certain that everything is just right. And unpacking it was just one of those moments when the beautiful design by Julian Roberts felt to be so. When we got an inkling that we would be leaving Dorset, we decided to start taking a lot of photographs of daily life at home, partly as a form of memoir, and partly as a practical record. We’ve spent the last year pulling together many memories, and writing about my early days, Charlie’s arrival and the making of his beautiful garden; and about the time when it came to leave, and about the move to Orkney. And then there is a room-by-room description of the house (including plans), and an area-by-area description of the garden, together with a detailed look at the changing seasons which make up ‘A Year at the Parsonage’ - which gave the book its title. Now, of course, we’ve said goodbye to Dorset and nothing makes me happier than the fact that we kept a record, and a little book about our time there is coming. The book is now available for pre-order at all good booksellers, and a kind friend in publishing told me a few years ago that the number of pre-orders does make a real difference to a book’s success. If you’d like to be among the very first to get a copy (and I’m remembering the fact that my last book, An English Vision, sold out very quickly and it was a while before the second printing arrived…) Charlie and I would be very grateful if you’d make that pre-order! And as I said in @houseandgardenuk this morning, all you really need to know is that his sponge cake recipe is going to be in the book! Happy Easter! 03 Apr 2026
