Returning to a slower pace of life seems to be a great way to go - well at least for the weekends! I read your books that you write with Tricia Guild with great interest too. I have an idea for a book and I wondered if you would be interested in working with me on it. I have no previous experience other than writing wise I have written a novel before that was represented by Pollinger Ltd. Unfortunately we found no-one to actually publish it - bum! I am telling you this to show you my level of commitment to a project. If you would perhaps be interested you could drop me a line via my email - whisty@btinternet.com. I would rather not discuss my idea here on your open comment page. I look forward to hopefully hearing from you. Many thanks and best wishes Emma Dear Elspeth

Thank you for sharing them. I'm looking forward to watching your renovation and wish you lots of luck and patience.

Hoping for lots of work-in-progress pictures, I'm interested to see how you are going to develop the carriages into a permanent home. Lots of details please! - H - I don’t suppose you want a lodger do you? :-)

I'm so glad I found your blog. I look forward to your remodeling project. You seem to be taking the same approach as Sarah Susanka and the Not So Big House, something I love very much, and adding eco friendliness to it. Thanks for sharing with us all!
