We apologise. Our inherited and ageing phone system has decided that it can no longer function.

We are advised that a Mr. Fix It wil be here on Friday with a solution.

Meanwhile, please e-mail enquiries@thorneyhow.co.uk or tweet @ThorneyHow

We started tackling some of those nagging jobs this weekend such as dripping overflows, moss covered roof, planting out and general grounds upkeep.

Our daughter Emma also contributed to the weekend.

We’re tweeting #projectthorney occasionally mistyped as #projecthorney with ensuing jokes.
