Excellent! Kirstie Allsopp (she of Location, Location, Location fame) is presenting a series for Channel Four called Kirstie's Homemade Home, where she will attempt to transform a dilapidated country cottage in Devon into the "ultimate 'homemade' home".

I'm well up for this. The Blonde and I love LLL just for Kirstie and Phil's banter (it's not as if either of will be getting on the property ladder anytime soon). I hope Phil pops in at some point, for homemade cake!

Channel Four says that Lady Miss Allsopp will,"hunt for the "best of handmade inventiveness, design and craft" and visit auction houses as well as reclaiming and restoring pieces of furniture... learn how to create items such as homemade soap, candles, pillowcases and tablecloths... meet all the wonderful artisans who keep the great British tradition for crafts alive from furniture-makers and antique restorers to glassblowers and flower arrangers, and ... learn some of the key skills of the humble craftsman." Can't wait! (Via Crafty Crafty.)
