Just heard on the news that Twiggy, the oldest known sheep, has died having fallen off a cliff. She was 26.
Darn it. We'll never know how old she could have got to.

Glad you've found us, stitch

Best of luck with the architect tomorrow, Dave.

Hope all's well in the chickenhouse this morning, LIR, & you didn't open the door to find the walls resprayed.

Misty (or low cloud - can't tell the difference when you're inside it) here again.

No change with chooks. Out to do a midday massage soon.

grey and dank today, the air is mild, but feels cold as its so heavy with moisture.

Strange - not that sea mist is strange but it normally rolls in & out with the tide. High tide was around 9.30 this morning & it was clear then. This is getting thicker by the minute

Maybe it's like that horror movie - can't remember the name - when the mist rolled in before the monster appeared :eek: :rotfl:

Followed by hose down shed? :rotfl:
Probably not a bad idea anyway - at least if there's much 'evidence' left, Officer

Dave, we are waiting on more detailed plans before the designer (not architect, he has a BSc in building construction) sends them to a quantity surveyor for them to be costed. That's when reality will bite. The draft plans are designer were intuitively great, the only thing I asked to be added was an extra shower. However, how far our budget will stretch to achieve this raised roof, five bedroom three bathroom, plus two bedroom independent annexe with totally new drains, electrics, plumbing, heating system, super insulated with different sources of renewable energy... Ho ho ho. Father Christmas must be somewhere...

There's no Father Christmas here, that's for sure.:(

In our case, we've been trying to retain as much as possible, secure in the knowledge that every window, toilet, or whatever, that doesn't get moved is money saved. At the same time, we also have to address the barmy bits!

I think a whole new upper floor here is out of the question, but in pursuit of that amazing view, I've been toying with the idea of a mezzanine dining area. Then, we can eat our sarnies and wave to people on the bus!:rotfl:

Seriously, we didn't know there was a potential view here when we bought, the place was so buried in small trees, and had a 35' long barrow in the front garden.:eek: Now, it's frustrating, being right on the edge of a beautiful valley and not being able to see more than half way into it.

This is a view of the valley from a different angle. We are on the horizon, somewhere in the middle!

That is lovely. Our view is interrupted by a country lane, but we can't complain. If we do manage to achieve the raise, it will still be quite something.

One wall almost gone!

We have a view, but i find it imposing and a bit cold. Sometimes i feel like a bug on a microscope aas we are part of the view many people have!
