    27/04/2019: Your Dad’s drawings are lovely. I didn’t realise all those styles existed in 1974. I thought the Tuscan only came about when they started building all the off plan complexes. Our was the Blairgowrie style. xx

    27/04/2019: I remember a lot of these houses. A friend of mine grew up in an el Morocco for example.

    04/05/2019: This is wonderful, Catherine! I remember your dad always saying how hideous the faux Tuscan style was!

    16 May 2019: I have yet to reply to your missive but just want to tell you that I think these not only fantastic but the detail and humour are unsurpassed. I love the prices too. Thank you for sending them.

    16 May 2019: What fascinating (and excellent) sketches. I recognised all those variations on the housing theme around Joburg and its suburbia.
