So that means: Outside - change window in dining room for french doors rebuild falling down conservatory (need to do the dining room window before we ca...

Welcome Ruth. I've only been to Durham once and thought it was a beautiful place, lovely countryside too. Do you live in a rural spot and where is your dream location - nosy beggar aren't I :wave: No more nosey than I would be! Dream place would be Yorkshire Dales, preferably Swaledale, but Wensley...
