Grass roof

Nicola, Pete, Lola and Nell want to travel the world with a difference. We hope to get a taste of many countries without adding to climate change (with needless emissions from aeroplanes) or having to waste hours of holiday time in airport terminals. We hope our adventures inspire you to take a Grand Tour of your neighbourhood. This post is from Nicola (pic is of our fab housesitting home near Aberdeen)

To the taxi driver I say "And then you see a grass roof". He's not impressed at all. "No, it's cool, it's meant to be grass," I insist, you'll love it... We certainly have and are inspired enough to think we might try and do the same if we build an add on to the back of our house.

Maybe we'll even be able to keep our hens on the roof?
