The terrace area is being completely retiled as the present tiles are broken and dirty. I've tried to resurrect them, but they are beyond repair. The new ones are half the size, and are specially made to withstand the climatic conditions here. The existing tiles were only designed for the interior areas, so it is unsurprising that they failed. The work of laying the tiles has taken a couple of weeks so far, but will be finished this week. The effect is remarkable, and the effort has proved worthwhile. The photo here shows both the old and new tiling.
After 9 years living in France, near Poitiers in the heart of the countryside, we've moved back to England. We are in Margate, within half a mile of the sea, in a small development of new houses...........David Sefton
