About Me
Just as we purchased a property for a full renovation in the Lake district, COVID hit. Thankfully, this allowed us more time to work on the renovation and design. It was all completed at the end of 2021. Challenging work, a few crossed words, but loved everything about the journey of Rydal Cottage!!!
