The results http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?srch=105&q=how%20to%20frame%20mini%20hips%20on%20a%20gable%20roof&first=11&FORM=PERE brought us up in fourth place but I was intrigued by result number two.

The blog the link brought me to Longmoor Lodge. Mark Taylor, the owner was demolishing a house and building a new 'futuristic' one in an area close to where I used to live

Most intriguingly, looking at the photos of the team I came across Mick Cane (photo) who worked for me from about 1990-1993??  He was part of the team which helped build the famous walled garden for Carrie Zetter at Fishers Cottage, Combe Lane, Chiddingfold.

Mick was a fantastic 'old school' worker who never groaned although he suffered a bit with ill health and a bad back.

A real lad and the salt of the earth and a fantastic inspiration to me at the time and someone who I could really use here in France, in fact I might give him a call.

Its a small world for sure.
