Taking advantage of the beautiful weather, bel fidanzato and I went to visit our old country house with our engineering friend who is going to do a project/plan of the house. You may recall that the family has a few old, run down houses and we are going to do one up and live there.
At first we wanted to live in this gorgeous house, but it is nothing but the shell of a house and it would cost a fortune to get electricity etc...connected there.

After a lot of discussion, and going back and forth, we decided to do up the old school house, rather then the townhouses in the village. I will post some photos of the old townhouses as they (there are 2, 1 next door to the other) are absolutely beautiful albeit run down....but being in the centre of town there is no garden and I - being Australian - have grown up with a big garden and eating outside in the warm weather. So I wanted a garden. Bel fidanzato also likes the idea of lunches and dinners outside, of having lots of room to do as you like, and having almost total privacy. So, the school house it is!
This photo is the only one I can find on my laptop, and I will have to post better photos of the place, but we are very excited that soon we will have the plans and can look into starting work!
The work will be slow as the house is massive not to mention rundown. Fingers crossed we can start with a new roof in the summer and go from there.
I'll keep you posted and post better photos of our house to be!!!!!

Oh what are you doing to me, almost summer you say? It's 5 degrees and raining in England... Redoing the school house sounds pretty exciting, can't wait for the pictures!
Wow, that's great Leanne! I wish we had some land to build a little casetta on...un giorno....
