Artist Tracy Nors was living in a rented house in Kent when, four years ago, her husband Jesper tragically died. The couple had been looking to buy a house and she and Jesper had been waiting to make a decision on a school for their son Indigo, now 13. They had finally decided on a school near Rye, but when Jesper sadly passed away shortly afterwards, Tracy was left with the task of finding a home near Rye.
Tracy thought a renovation project might be a helpful distraction and when she saw the cottage that was to become her home, she knew it was the right one for her and Indigo. ‘It had some nice original features and was close to the centre of town,’ she says.
Everything went smoothly until the day of moving. ‘The removal man turned up and he could see the owner serving dinner in her kitchen,’ says Tracy. ‘She hadn’t packed up because of a problem down the chain.’ So Tracy and Indigo had to stay with a friend till completion, five days later.
