Well after an extra-long vacation, and a lot of therapy and healing, I've got back to my desk and keyboard. Thank you so much again to everyone who has wished me a speedy recovery!

On holiday we visited a number of medieval castles 'in depth', and by a lovely serendipity I've had a couple of requests to start castle-building, so I will.

But I felt it was time to try to create some architectural features in Simsworld, so I've been working on some raised gable-ends (with stone coping) and some gable pediments. A couple of buildings will be ready for publishing in a day or two (I'm a keen tester, so it takes days to test a new building and I always try to max the environment scores for each room!!!)
