Just had a visit from an architect as part of Shelter's 'Architect in the House' scheme.

A very pleasant chap spent an hour discussing various options (some of which were 'pie in the sky' budget wise!)
It looks like the way forward is to extend our kitchen slightly and have a skylight put in....our kitchen is so dingy I usually have the light on even on a sunny day like today. Also we can gain an extra room (currently we have a lounge diner which is also the only place for the piano) by installing a prefab type building (like a conservatory without glass) on the side of our end-terrace house.
I am rather excited about the prospect :-)
A children's book which comes to mind about a family building an extension is 'The Big Concrete Lorry' by Shirley Hughes. I love Shirley Hughes!
