Great virtual get-togethers. Any actual get-togethers?

I am embarking on the purchase and some considerable restoration of a humble cottage, albeit a GradeII* listed building, in Wiltshire. This is a long term project and I would appreciate meeting anyone locally (especially in the Salisbury PP. LBC region) who would be happy to socialise and fill me in with any relevant local information.
There could be a glass of wine and plate of spaghetti in return!

Sadly, nowhere near but the thought of free wine and spag may make me travel...

Be warned though, it was a plate of spag bol he cooked on a very early date which made me propose to the other half. I thought, hey, a bloke who can cook, and exotic fare at that (it seemed sophisticated in those far-off days to have a sauce with green peppers and spag not Heinz from a tin).

He said no and actually I don't think he ever said yes but here we are many years later...

I could be persuaded to ditch him though for a II*. I know heaps about lime and things...


You might be interested however, if you aren't already a member, to know SPAB has local groups which meet and socialise.

Hi and welcome!!

Sadly, I'm too far away also. However, if you're ever near Grantham, Newark, Lincoln way be sure to let me know. You'd be very welcome to come and see what we've done

I'm over towards Newbury, so a little closer than most. I don't know anything that hasn't been stated on these forums but 3 years hands on experience must count for a little something...

Drop me a PM - you may like to see the modest changes made here.

Hi - I am from Salisbury originally and live in Wokingham now so not too far away (we come back usually once every two months ish to visit rellies and friends). I might well be able to fill you in with some local history on the area but my knowledge of period property is dire Im afraid, although thanks to this site it is vastly improving .

Let me know if I can help in any way.
