| Three months ago Bridget and I lived near Eastbourne in Sussex. We don’t any more. We live in North Yorkshire now, near the village of Kettlewell, home of the famous Calendar girls. Walk a mile from Kettlewell in the direction of Conistone, and you will find the entrance to Scargill House. Just inside the big black gates at the bottom of the drive you will discover two semi-detached cottages. We live in the one on the right.
Why are we here? Good question. Why on earth, at this stage of our lives, did we (and our dog Lucy and our cat Pepsi) make the decision to sell up and move from one end of England to the other? The answer is quite long and complicated, but its heart is very simple. We believe that God wants us here. We are proud and privileged to be a small part of the resurrection of Scargill House, and we intend to spend the next two years contributing everything we can to the development of this captivating project. |
