The unscheduled maintenance is now complete. Thank you for your patience whilst this was done.

Please note, we are NOT expecting this to resolve all of the issues with slow loading pages, as we believe this is due to issues with the host servers. This situation will continue to be monitored and escalated where we are able to do so.

Merry Christmas to one and all!

Looks almost the same as our kitchen when it was stripped out! We didn't have any gas lights though as it was built in 1961. We, too, could only afford to buy a 'doer upper' that came with a large garden in this city. We only had a small courtyard before and I was desperate for a proper garden.
