From Ancient Wreck to Artists' Retreat!

Hello - When we moved to our new house in Bristol, UK, we started work at the end of our long garden to turn an old workshop into a space we could use for giving creative writing and meditation workshops. I hope you like the results. The renovation cost about £18,000 and features cedar shingles, an aluminium trifold door which works like a dream, and a porthole I bought for £80 from a ship's chandler's. We absolutely loved the space over this summer and used it as a poet's hideaway. I planted a 'meadow' outside from a box of seeds - it quickly grew to about 4 ft. high and rampaged with grasses and wild flowers - amazing! cheers, Barbara
