WELCOME TO the WORLD of WOODLEY
Welcome to our world, lovingly brought to you by The Coles Family, nestled in the heart of Devon.

We are a slightly wild family of five trying to live slowly in deepest, darkest Devon, aiming to bring back the best bits of the past that are sadly slipping away. Our life focuses on our animals. This means we spend a lot of time outside looking after horses, dogs and chickens. We have found this very grounding for the children who have their own responsibilities and their own creatures to care for. Necessity has brought about the creation of our basket saddles and other pieces. The saddle, named after our children’s late, beloved grandmother, Iggy, is a vital bit of equipment that means we can take the smallest along with us in our daily life. Through our writing and illustrations here we warmly invite you to look at the world through our eyes.
THE LADY MOSS
the TALL REEDS whispered A tiny TUNE
TO the WIND, AND THE WAVE HIS bride;
AND the LADY MOSS LAY under THE MOON,
SILVER and WASTE and WIDE.
