We finally managed to finish the painting of the wall under the balustrade on the terrace. As can be seen from the before and after photographs, the wall had a lot of plant growth that needed to be scrubbed off with a wire brush. Then, as the wall has a very pitted surface, the painting had to be done in two stages. Firstly, a roller was used, then followed by a round brush that could be poked into all the crevices - a slow and painstaking task. The house is beginning to take shape. The next task is the painting of the cabin, which will have to be done soon as creepers will start spreading over the walls when Spring begins.
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
