What a diversity of projects confronted us! They ranged in scale from a single window in King’s Lynn to a private nature reserve in the Brecks, and in character from a restored medieval barn to a brand-new ‘earth-sheltered’ house. Then there was the variety of materials: flint, clunch, carrstone, brick, render, glass, metal, and – perhaps increasingly today – timber in a variety of ‘sustainable’ species. There was even a converted barn with a wall of straw bales. We visited a wide variety of building types: forges, railway stations and windmills converted to dwellings; restored glasshouses, new glasshouses, public buildings, museums, and modest extensions.  There is poetry in excellent design and as W.H. Auden once said, it is ‘a poet’s hope: to be, like some valley cheese, local, but prized elsewhere!’”
