Since marrying quite a few years ago Shirley and Ian Hall have lived in 30 different properties – ‘some for Ian’s work and some because we like doing up houses,’ says Shirley, who used to run a bed and breakfast business. So their homes have ranged from a Portuguese villa, to a cottage in Devon, and now the 1890s Gloucestershire cottage they’re currently living in.
