About this audiobook
'One day,' Philip said, 'I'd like to build something bigger ... like a house. We could just buy a block of land, you know, the four of us, and have a go.' It was just an idea.

It was a huge and exhausting undertaking ... not least because they decided to use mudbricks. In the end it took three years simply to make the bricks. As for the house itself ...
