Restoration of our ancient kitchen

Angel Blogger here.

My husband & I recently finished creating a stone circle for ourselves & for our guests. It was only completed 2 weeks ago & already is a great success with our friends & clients, children are particularly attracted to it. Not content with this achievement, my husband John has just started work on trying to rescue our ancient outdoor kitchen which is perilously getting ready to collapse. Parts of it are 6th century & the oven ceiling is amazing, the idea is to first prop up the old lintels, repairing the crumbling stone work around the lintels with a view of removing the roof & eventually re roofing to protect the inner parts of the building. The end of the kitchen has a small circular space which was a monk's cell, I would love to convert this into a meditation star chamber with a small fire in the centre. One day we hope to have it working as an extension to our kitchen with a pizza oven BBQ & bar for eating & drinking al fresco style. I will keep you posted as to its recovery fingers crossed it will survive. Its also the height of our season & to be starting this type of venture is probably madness, but that's very much our style. Watch this space!
