In our village, all the houses have house names, not numbers. I don’t know how the postman – or any delivery drivers, for that matter – manage to do their job!
In the first few weeks of us moving in, we had lots of deliveries of new appliances and building materials. It only took us a couple of days to realise that delivery drivers were finding it hard to locate us because we didn’t have a sign with our house name on it.
Justin hastily daubed the house name on a spare roof slate with some spare paint and propped it up against the front wall… and there it has stood ever since. Much as I love its naive charm, I think the time has come for us to invest in a proper one. As we live in rural Wales, I want one made of Welsh slate. These are the three customised slate house signs that we’ve short-listed.
