grand designs...

...in the valley.

On this picture perfect day...and yes this is winter!.. I cranked up 'the van' for a dawdle through the Bickley Valley.
The homes from the very early 20th century tell a story of the valley's settlement.
From the gorgeous Heidelberg House to the our fave go to Italian 'fattoria' and their original family home dating from the 1930s (extra), both are grand designs.
