A few from the year off

Let me take you back through the mists of time, back to a time when temperatures averaged some 10C higher than today, the country was covered in verdant vegetation and man had no need for Justin Beiber. Let me take you back to.... May 2010!!

As I wasn't keeping the blog up at the time these pics of me and the Doris/Dozza/Dozzoire (mum) sorting out the front garden and stripping the ivy off the front of the house in awesome weather last year, got lost on my hard drive.

Anyway, here they are in all their slightly self indulgent glory. Come on summer, hurry up!

Back to work Dozza

Coombe Cottage

A hopefully interesting (but probably very dull) blog about our renovation of Coombe Cottage and the fun and games along the way.

In the wilds of North Somerset, Coombe Cottage is thought to date from the early 1400's and when we bought it at auction in 2009 was in a derelict state and in need of major ground up repair.

What the hell have we done!!

NOTE: This blog in intentionally stupid as the job in hand is so bloody scary and serious. If anything reads like fact it probably isn't.

While you're here have a look at my lovely sisters blog, she's doing the same thing but with a knackered old barn in the south of France. Unsurprisingly her pictures are much sunnier.
