Getting creative

It's time

I bought a house. If not now, then when? I'm 56, I want to go home (to Australia), have a garden, work with no loyalty to any institution except for the daily turn-up, and enjoy birds, sunshine and peace.

And this is where I'm going to do it. It won't look like this when I'm finished with it!

Befores

Purchased in Feb 2015, it needs a lot of love, some trees down, and some rearranging of walls and rooms. Perhaps even expansion. 

All in good time.
