Mind mapping is scary! I'm definitely a linear, listy sort of person and am in awe of mindmappers.

Home for an extended weekend so getting to catch up on diaries. So glad your son is getting on well. I bet he is full of funny stories, making loads of friends and getting some amazing experiences and memories.

Truly not sure whether an architect is required for a Reno but because we want to move walls - significantly on one side of the house - we both think he can probably conjure up more storage capacity and make it flow better than if I was drawing on a napkin :rotfl:

I have newspaper and sellotape if you want any .

Best to get an architect - I don't want my ceiling falling in on me when I visit :rotfl:.

I used to do both - mind map the topics but do lists beneath the main headings. Not quite the genuine article

Tilly, things sound wonderful. Are you planting basil seeds *now* to grow in the house over autumn and winter? Sounds good.

I'm linear too - mind maps look beautiful, but they're not useful to me though I like the sound of mind mapping at high levels and then making lists

What lovely visitors

We went house hunting yesterday - not terribly successful but we did learn what we definitely don't want, which I guess is good.

We have met with architects previously but have not had much success - maybe we just chose the wrong ones but very little was forthcoming. Fortunately we were never billed.

Walking the hounds soon and then off on a bike ride this afternoon.

I hope everyone stayed dry yesterday - what a lot of rain :eek:

Afternoon

Back in the UK and thankfully the sun was out when we landed.

Good meeting with architect. Came to the house and had some excellent ideas. He also knows loads of people at the local council which will be helpful.

Progress has already been made and we should have draft plans this week.

I've done loads of gardening which always makes me happy. Walks on the beach, meals with great friends, all on all productive and therapeutic holiday.

Hope everyone's plans are going well.

Best wishes Tilly xx

Money news:
Very little being spent
You G needs attention but everything else ticking along
A friend wants a winter holiday which means our house will be occupied in January - delighted about this
