I ran away screaming from a career in magazine publishing aged 40. At the same time I had bought a house with a 2 acre mud patch as a garden. I taught myself to do all the things properly on my own patch, then thought 'why not?'. The guiding principle has always been that if a fat builder can do it, I can do it better!
