I live in Sydney's south with my husband, daughter and rescue greyhound. We originate from the UK and have a passion for old buildings and interior design. We spent 2 years restoring and converting The Vines into a modern home whilst retaining the church's original features. We enjoy sharing the church with others in the next phase of its life.
