Next Steps

So a year later the front of the house has been brought back to its natural glory and it really is lovely. I feel at times we are just maintaining  / restoring the house for future generations and in the meantime we get to live in it. 

We now need to develop the garden - a pagoda I think in the corner to provide a space for outside eating and more plant growing.

Having said that we live in the north of England and no matter how much I wish/deny it will never really be the warmth of an Auckland summer in this part of the world!
