Last Sunday I visited Grand Designs live at the NEC in Birmingham, for the third year running, since it's only a 15 minute train journey from my university.
Unfortunately I was limited on time this year so had to choose between getting round all the exhibits or listening to the talks. I decided I'd rather go round the exhibits to see if there was anything new I hadn't seen before, and of course for the freebies! However, I absolutely loooove George Clarke (Amazing Spaces and Restoration Man) so I couldn't resist listening to a bit of his talk as he's always so inspiring! Every year I come away from the show wishing I had the money to start my own dream project, I even seriously considered buying an old 1950s bus earlier in the year to do up! His guest had actually built himself a home office from a shipping container, and had made chairs out of old shopping trolleys!
For anyone who's interested in this sort of thing, check out some of his episodes on YouTube, particularly Amazing Spaces. It's really inspiring! His new series also starts this Thursday, so if you're in the UK, be sure to check it out!
Thanks for reading! Xxx
