An unsusal door
This week, Karl has been installing the door which will lead from the main ground floor area of the ‘house’ into his workshop, which is in the north west corner (the darkest, dankest part of the building!). The door itself has had a rather unusual history as it’s an old Victorian prison cell door from Dartmoor Prison! The viewing hole…

Welshpool Series, Part 3: Broad Street & High Street
‘The Cross’ Welshpool The old bakery on the corner of Broad Street has the most beautiful mirrored panels in the window. One represents coffee, another tea. I absolutely love them, and if I could I would have included many more pictures of them. Moving on… Welshpool Town Hall Welshpool Town Hall The ‘fresh faced’ (after it’s recent restoration work) Town…

I generally walk everywhere, which makes it easier to notice old buildings and their small details. As I walk I always try and look up at the buildings I pass. I notice all sorts of things now, which before we took…

Image of the Week #19
Whilst out in the churchyard this bitterly cold morning (we were bird spotting for the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch), this moss covered gravestone caught my eye. There must be every shade of green here… so beautiful!

‘Restoration couple sing from the same hymn sheet’
‘…a family who are doing a conversion of Biblical proportions’ The headlines of a feature about our efforts here at Christ Church in this week’s County Times, our local paper. We’re really pleased that Bronwen Jones, the County Times features reporter, happened to walk past recently and wondered what was going on here! I was quite nervous about having all…
