One winter morning in the carefree London of the early 1990s, two world travellers from very different parts of the globe happened to meet over a bowl of cornflakes and a cup of tea in the breakfast room of a Chelsea hotel.
Many conversations, auto-train-ferry-trips, and adventures around Great Britain later — they married and and lived for awhile in Norfolk before becoming global citizens by residing on 3 different continents over an almost 30-plus year period.
Mark Harmes has been in the construction trades for over 2 decades and he decorates and restores houses (beautifully!) for a living. In his spare time he is a mad-keen cyclist, enthusiastic bike-packer, builder of occasional bits of custom furniture, woodworker, and painter on canvas when he finds the time.
From traditional to contemporary style, newly constructed buildings or ancient European ones, Mark offers finishing and maintenance services. Deborah, a writer and book editor, still consults on occasion since she has certification as a professional interior designer from a London design school. Together they have purchased, restored, and sold houses in several countries.
Deborah is a writer, editor, and researcher for clients around the world.
