The original barn is quite old and has an interesting history - allegedly a hiding place for the future King Charles II after the battle of Worcester. Hence its local name of "The King Charles Barn". It will do me just fine as a hiding place too.

Madeley - King Charles Barn
So now I have a second life (but not a SecondLife - at least not yet) in Shropshire. The standard work-pattern is to work in Telford Monday to Thursday and work from home on a Friday. I need somewhere to stay, but don't really want to buy right now (or move the family, for that matter - we do rather like Bury St Edmunds). So after visiting a few furnished rental properties, I've chosen to live in a 2-bedroom flat in a barn conversion development in Madeley. It's about 10 minutes drive from the office and quite close to Ironbridge
