She added further: “I can’t wait to properly have some days off work & show you all around…. I’m not going to show the outside of the house this time around. “Just for security and privacy reasons… we had some issues at pickle cottage in the end & it’s safer to just not show the building itself.” Adding more about what she wanted from her new home, Stacey wrote: “I am so excited though to take you into the rooms & get inspiration from you all.

However, she said that leaving Pickle Cottage was a massive, massive, decision for the family. But she revealed: “For a little while we have always wanted to rescue more animals, grow more vegetables, my vegetable patch, I have got so much joy out of it, but it’s on Farmer Scott’s land. So if he decides to do something with that land, it’s gone.” Stacey added: “We saw somewhere, found somewhere, and I was like ‘Oh my God’ and I was like, we could have a massive vegetable patch and we could offer our land to animals who need it.” Yesterday, Stacey shared an emotional goodbye to Pickle Cottage in a heartwarming post.
