    Which Uni?

    Here’s my 2p worth as (a) a law graduate and now family lawyer; and (b) someone now employing law graduates and training them. Warwick is by far the best option from those listed. It’s well respected, a decent course and there’s a good structure in place for pushing students in the right...

    Post Your Garden!

    We had a custom built brick BBQ. We bought the grill/insert separately which is from BlackKnight and is a BKB801G model. A closer photo is below. We’ve got a Morso Forno outdoor wood oven on the left, large grill BBQ in the middle, and the two cupboards either side are hiding a drinks fridge and...

    *** Show us your Dogs ***

    We’ve welcomed a new addition to the pack a few weeks ago. Meet Rudin. It’s a bit of a shell shock going from almost 9 and 7 year old dogs back to puppy training but we are getting there! We now have Hilbert (9yrs old in April), Hardy (7yrs old in April) and Rudin (4 months). Bonus prize for...

    Dog owners - carpet

    Oh and I’d suggest investing in a carpet cleaner - ours was a godsend for keeping the carpets clean and tidy with the two dogs.

    Dog owners - carpet

    I would train your dog to wait at the door before being allowed back into the house and then wipe his/her paws before they come in. It will minimise dirt on the carpet and make life a lot easier (speaking as someone who used to live in a house with cream carpets and two dogs - thankfully we now...

    Show me your: Fireplace

    Yes it does sit back from the opening - that’s where the opening is to connect to the flue. Ours sits back about 30cm from the front. The depth of the i5 is about 43 cm.

    Garden Renovation Project

    We had a fixed price and he stuck to that. We did add an extra which we paid for - the original plan was 5 courses of bricks, and as they started to build we decided we wanted an extra 5 courses. That added an extra £1k to the bill. We also asked for the granite to be used to top the brickwork...

    Thanks. Yes we did wonder whether it would be too far from the house when in the planning stage... but the view from that spot makes it totally worth it! Having tried it a few times, I can tell you it’s not too far to go :D

    Garden Renovation Project

    We were almost finished in time for Christmas... We’ve still got to install the lights (electrician coming back in the New Year), and plants in the walls (need to line them), re-seed the grass, install the wooden arches (there are gaps in the laurel hedge for this), and...
