This was my first glimpse of the little barn on the property that I wanted to buy in Sicily.   I needed to send photos to John, who was busy shooting weddings back in Fiji.  What would he think?  How could I make it look bigger?  Would he go for it?   The property was beautiful, 3.8 hectares (about 9.5 acres).  Covered with old stone terraces, over a hundred and twenty olive trees, eighty carob trees and many almond and fruit trees.  The little old barn sat high on a hill with an incredible view.  I was smitten. I needed a plan…quick!
