Day of rest my arse. Started with a lovely fluffy omlette, packed with smoked trout and philly, then off to get Charlie and my Apple lesson. Dunderhead me though I'd changed it to a 1hr one, but it was a 3hr personal project with Kyle, who is the expert on Photoshop. And is he. Showed... Continue Reading →
Clearing a disastrous cellar
Inspired by becoming a mere working mortal as opposed to an A list tv star arf arf, today we are tackling the cellar.

The sort of flat sold in the City five years back for £200k and the Mail ran an article called... Continue Reading →
