Marmalade cottage was built in 1917. Then it was renovated in the 1950s. Then nothing, really. It's been empty for a couple of years and still has its fabulous, kitsch linoleum floor coverings. And an outside loo and a beautiful cream and green Metters wood stove. Come with us as we transform a gracious shell into a functional house and create a fragrant, edible garden around it.

Chook update
On the left, we have Florence, on the right Shirley. At least we hope that's who they are.
There's every possibility they're Horace and Arthur.
They're about six weeks old now, just starting to grow combs and rather smart adult feathers. When they start laying eggs or upsetting the neighbours at an ungodly hour, we'll know whether they're male or female. Our expert advice is that Florence might be a Plymouth Rock, Shirley is a mystery.
