Time for a new garage

The garage, or 'shed' as it is better known, has never been really fit for purpose. Built in an era when an Austin Seven seemed the typical size of a modern car, it has been home to all the clutter that a man wishes to collect as well as a certain convocation of politic worms, spiders, mice and tendrils of ivy and Virginia creeper.

Enough is enough. Our builders do not believe in doing things by half and so the new garage will reach out beyond the telegraph pole and go back further at the rear, taking in the former well. With a room on top, we should be able to park an estate car inside the 'garage' - not that anyone in Cornwall wastes a garage on a car when there is  'junk', boats and boat-bits in need for storage - and rumpus in the space above.
