I was having a bbq on my East London Allotment when my friend Ian (who apparently many moons ago worked with you at the Adam & Eve in Homerton) had a copy of your lovely book The London Gardener, which mentions Gavin Jones, an old friend of mine, and we were talking about greenhouses and camper vans etc., and got on to railway carriage houses. I stumbled upon some great ones near Sutton-on-Sea in Lincolnshire earlier this year and had only just sent him this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/louisebrooker/sets/72157604233795075/ Today I open my World of Interiors and there you are and your wonderful railway house! What a wonderful house and a great project. I look forward to following your progress - please make it into a book! Some uncanny coincidences this week.

So much information and some lovely photos. We too live a divided life between London and our cottage which over the years we have been trying hard to make eco friendly, yours is a very brave approach and I am greatly looking forward to following your progress and hopefully learing a thing or two in the process. And I will buy WOI! What a joy it was to find your delightful blog charting progress with your eco house! So much information and some lovely photos.

I'm going away this evening so will buy my copy at the airport. How exciting not only to have a roof, but to be in the press as well. I’m going away this evening so will buy my copy at the airport.
