Our friends Ben and Anna recently ‘escaped to the country’ and bought themselves a lovely bungalow in north Wales. In search of sunshine we spent a long weekend staying with them and it’s fair to say that we really didn’t want to come back!

As well as a cottage with lots of character and features (like a big fire) they’ve also got a fantastic garden with enough space, nooks and crannies to keep any gardener occupied and enough veg plots to feed a family year round. There’s no two ways about it, they’ve bought our dream house!
