For the first year of my life I lived in Blanchland in this little cottage with my mum and dad. Before I was born they had bought the cottage when it was in quite a state and restored it all by themselves. They kept white ducks which I wish I could have seen, but they must have died before I was even around. The cottage itself is in a very remote part of the Northumberland countryside and we once got snowed in for a week. When I was Christened in the nearby village's church, apparently everyone who lived there came to my Christening, how awesome is that. I will try and source some more photos to show you guys.
