Challenge Complete!!, we sold most of our land and Farm House! Enabling us to concentrate on Purl Design LLP - Sustainable Architecture and allow our guests to enjoy the peaceful retreat here at The Mill Cottages in either of our one bed cottages, along with our resident pets, ponies, chickens, goats, cats and dogs! We have spent the last year renovating the 400 year old mill for us to live in, completed late 2012 and love every minute!!!... We are looking forward to another successful year.

SNOWMEN!
Don't worry the snow entries are nearly over!!! The day wouldn't have been complete without a snowman, and as usual we went over the top here too, Me, Laura and Steven rolled the biggest snowball that we could until we could push it no further and then all looked at each other as if to say , well what now, how are we going to join them up! We rolled the fist one in position, then Pete got a scaffold plank to roll the other one up on the top...it was so heavy it took 4 of us to do it....finally in place and packed up...we only had one more to get on top!....Spring was helping..by eating the snow and rolling in it!!Finally after a lot of heaving and pushing we manged it, sticks for arms, pampas for a mouth and the odd stone for eyes and nose, it was about 8 or 9 foot high by the time we finished. A bit of hay thrown on his head for a hat or hair and bobs your uncle... A snowman!! shortly after this was taken...the ponies decided they wanted the hay and reared up to get it...knocking our masterpiece flying!!!
