Some images of our new home


We are getting lots of questions from friends and family about our new home close to Salisbury. So here are a few photos of the place (especially the garden - which is why we bought it).

There is also a map of how to find it if you are visiting.

THIS SHOWS A VIEW IN MAY, UP THROUGH THE GARDEN TO THE PADDOCK BEYOND. THE PADDOCK HAS BEEN MANAGED FOR SHEEP AND CATTLE IN THE PAST, BUT WE ARE TRYING TO INCREASE THE WILDFLOWER DIVERSITY. IT WILL TAKE TIME.
