The Case of the Self-Dismantling Fireplace.

October 31, 2024

I popped over to Plas Coch to take some photos of the completed work to date. The sun was shining, the sky was blue and there were birds whistling a happy tune. I'm doing this to set the scene. It was, my friends, a perfect day. I went through taking my photos in every room […]

That's a little peculiar...

October 30, 2024

At first there were some strange things going on…like the words “’ello lavinia” appearing on the darts board and nobody owning up to writing it. Then there were those water taps mysteriously starting to run when they had definitely been turned off... So what do you do when you have an old property with a […]

On the 18th May 2023 at around 14.00 hours Tracey, Kevin and I had a meeting at Plas Coch. Not an ordinary meeting.

Many questions have been raised over the course of the renovations. The most important one being: Who was the person for whom this house was built? Second to this is: Who is the cat leaving these footprints? Up until recently no feline adventurer had been spotted near Plas Coch. However...we have a result! Behold! The […]

Intruder Alert!

June 6, 2024

Following the discovery of the slate floor, a concrete floor with the necessary damp proofing was laid to ensure a smooth and level floor. However, as the concrete was setting we had an intruder. Let me put your minds at rest, the intruder was not of the burly two-legged variety wearing a balaclava and carrying […]

Message from times past...

May 16, 2024

Old Newspapers discovered by the Builders. One from 1974 and the other from 1910! It was like a message from the past! Until I ironed them... I'm pretty sure that there were no computers in 1910! Bah! Humbug!
