Hello,
My wife & I have just completed a self build project in the lovely countryside outside Canterbury in Kent. The house has been built in the vernacular style typical of this locality - hand made clay brick & roof tiles, knapped flint and weatherboarding. It is quite a large house, approximately 3500 sq feet, a significant part of it has been constructed using a green oak frame. I know that I am biased but it is an extremely beautiful house in a stunning location with the most fantastic views. I would like to send you some photographs but sadly, I don't know how to attach them to this mail? My e-mail address is Removed by Aunt Sally If you write back to me I will send you some.
Since arriving here three years ago, we have planted a large vegetable garden and orchard (from scratch) and keep pigs, chickens, geese and sheep.
What we have is a five acre plot on a gentle south easterly facing slope on chalk downland. We have arrived at the point in the development of this house which involves the creation of a garden (what we bought initially was just a field). Sadly, we don't have any money left to develop the garden at the moment - this will probably have to wait for a year or two. However, I believe that the development of this garden, given it's location and views would make compelling television and wonder whether you may consider making a programme specific to this project?
Kind regards,

Huw Davies.
