Many summers ago, when ACHUKA looked very different, I Berlingo’d across to Dorset to visit the Anholts for the day to cover the opening of their children’s bookshop in the centre of Lyme Regis.

They lived then in Uplyme, in an old farmhouse with substantial grounds and spectacular views over Lyme Regis. It was a beautiful, idyllic home.

But…

“One day our three children decided they were grown up. Off they went to find new adventures in London, New York and Berlin. Catherine and I looked at each other and realised that a lovely chapter in our lives had come to an end. It was time to sell the family home and our children’s bookshop in Lyme Regis and find an adventure of our own.”

Do read this splendidly illustrated blog post describing their choice of new home.

The views of the house (both interior and exterior) stir the photographer in me.
