What have we let ourselves in for?

Well, we’ve finally taken the plunge and bought our own house. It’s a 1930s, three bedroom, semi-detached house less than two miles from the centre of Bristol (UK).

The house will need plenty of work and the garden is a bit of a “blank canvas”:-

This view is from the back bedroom and you can see the brick-built workshop on the right, the dog kennel behind it and er, that’s about it… Our garden has next to nothing in it, just tussocky grass and a concrete path (see top right of picture).
