Anarres has Landed
Not ‘landed’ as in ‘gentry’, but as in ‘rockets’. Well, as in ‘land’ – because Anarres officially has land! As of Friday 18 March, we picked up keys to the new place. Our saga of perpetual homelessness finally came to …

Anarres Exclusive: A Rich Man’s World – Not So Funny
We here at Anarres HQ have a love/hate relationship with housing; we’d love to have it sorted, but we hate the faff of trying to get it. By which we mean: this is the third time we as a housing …

Silver Linings
Another quick update, just to say that we have now reached our starting loanstock target of £98,500 – which leaves us somewhat overjoyed! Not that we won’t need to find more finance down the line, of course. Oh, the serendipity …
