Light and Welcoming
What does your ideal home look like? Not as fancy or big. It’s the light that attracts me. Long, low, not a straight line, U-shaped probably, with a conservatory in the U. Doors that slide right back in the summer. In truth it’s not the house it’s location and land. Quiet. Fairly isolated. Big gardenContinueContinue reading “Light and Welcoming”

Clarence on the Completely Predictable
“Those with the broadest shoulders should bear the burden”Sir Keir Starmer What on earth do broad shoulders have to do with the economy?

You’ll need broad shoulders because they’re goingContinueContinue reading “Clarence on the Completely Predictable”
A Nest of Tables
