Uh the penny drop moment… I am the house! So much potential just waiting to be fulfilled. This neglected and overlooked house, decades of dodgy wiring, bad plumbing, poor maintenance and papering over the cracks. Sat empty just waiting for someone to come along and restore her. But here’s the thing, how deep, how far are you prepared to go?

As Spring came around I had started to reach a point of surrender. I was slowly starting to loosen my grip on 'The Plan'.

Expectation versus reality two years down the line.

From dreaming about a new life in France to actually taking the leap.

‘Have you ever dreamed about leaving your job, selling up and buying a cheap old property somewhere else in the world…’

Starting to paint in oils.
