The Waiting Game

We had hoped that we would have heard about the planning permission by now, but still we wait. The planning officer visited the site this week to look at the view from the public footpath to see what visual impact the house would have for anyone using the path. Whatever will they think of next to deliberate over? Nevertheless the architect is confident it will be approved and trying to get on with building regulations as they are going to change at the beginning of November and this could cause more delay as the building officers will have to become familiar with the new regulations.

Meanwhile we have got the electricity moved from the house into the main barn and the telephone line has been disconnected, which means that there is nothing holding up demolition. As soon as the permission is through we are hoping to get straight onto the rebuild.

Geoff has been busy setting up a woodworking workshop and now made nest boxes to go into the chicken house. Just perches to go and we can get some chickens in residence.

Millie has gone away for her training and settling in well. Lass is missing her and becoming very affectionate. When Millie returns she will go to be trained.
