About

The modest dream was to make the move from my flat albeit a very comfortable, attractive one to a house.  I never really adjusted to the London Victorian conversion. It felt like I was constantly surrounded by invisible flatmates – seldom seen but always heard.

There were also other reasons for taking on this project which if you are so inclined you can read about here.

And the blog well it just seemed a good way of off-loading the highs and lows of doing-it-yourself.
