An architectural historian by training, he repairs old buildings in old-fashioned ways. All the cottages are in attractive locations around southwest Wales. Unlike

27、tages: he now lets out a variety of rare accommodations dotted around western styles, including a renovated(修复的) train carriage and two gypsy caravans which were used by Romanies.
