We are relaxing after four full days of Heritage Open Days. We reckon we had 1,500 people through our home. It is VERY hard work being welcoming and polite to strangers for four days on the trot but we met some delightful visitors and everybody seemed to appreciate the restoration and the opportunity to see it.
People were particularly interested in the rainwater harvesting system and the heat recovery ventilation. Most of all they were in awe of the restoration of a vulnerable old building and the craftsmanship of its building work. Many people said they would like to live here. It was obvious that a high proportion of visitors had seen it on Restoration Man - many having recorded the programme and kept it.
We were graced by a visit from the 23 year old Mayor of Settle who declared it to be a 'nice pad'. Bless.
