St Mary's Space

Unique record productions happen in this church home recording studio with recluse Jamie Smith.
Also wee weddings, but visit for that!

'The Road Less Travelled' @horsemusic

Released: 25 May 2024

Horse releases 8th studio album, reminding us of her magnificent voice, reasserting herself as the ultimate singers' singer. In the course of these 12 songs, every emotion is felt.
And the songs themselves? Masterful.

🎉What a buzz! 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 album launch @CCA_Glasgow was one to remember. Thanks to everyone who came along & everyone who has bought the album. I'm currently sitting at 21 in the iTunes album charts - can we get it to number one?

We moved here in 2011 & inherited an overgrown box hedge that lined the drive. It was a bit spindly, straight & boring, so this year I shaped it & created what I hope looks like a pillowy, cloud-like effect. Hopefully I can define it more over the years. #topiary #cloudhedge

Midge proofed the cabin for beautiful wedding couple this weekend, just in case. Soaring heat has kept the midges away but can't take any chances & have the gorgeous couple being attacked before their special day!!
Adore shadows the vintage net has created.

House & hands heavily scented with sage from making diy sage smudge sticks, such a wonderfully heady scent. Used mainly sage with tiny addition of lemon balm & itsy-bitsy seasonal flowers from the garden💚

The most beautiful picnic lunch spot on our bike ride yesterday.
Utter perfection.
