    A big day…

    It’s been a big day today for our eldest son Owen, who received his GCSE results. He did very well with a good collection of A* and A grades, a couple of B’s and a C in Welsh First Language which is a small miracle as we aren’t a Welsh speaking family! Restoration life doesn’t seem to have hindered his…

And cycled up and over…

    9 Years!

    Nine years ago today we became the proud owners of this fabulous Victorian church. It’s been an amazing journey so far. We have learned so much, not only about restoration, building and the building’s heritage but learned a lot about ourselves. This project has become our life and what a fascinating one it is! We’re not tired of it yet,…

    We had a fantastic turnout to our Open Days this weekend. 105 visitors dodged the showers to have a look round our displays and to view the interior of the nave. We are so touched by everyone’s support and encouragement. To have such positive feedback really helps us to keep going!
