Benefits of a classical education

The surveyors has rendered their verdict…and that is: the garden is about twice as large as we thought it was. I am apparently incapable of buying a house in this country without a huge garden. Right now, it’s just going to be extra grass for Maeryn to play on, but let’s not kid ourselves that I’m not having Grand Designs thoughts and looking at Dezeen for concrete ideas. Don’t worry, I won’t need an architect!

Ooooh, look at this…

I spent a good half-hour standing in the middle of my new domain, working out where the stilts and cantilever would go…and then I came to my senses a little and thought about where we could place a bench where we could sit whilst Maeryn plays. That feels a bit more realistic, but also great in its own way.
