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.

STONEWORK COMPLETE!
All the stone facing has now been completed and we have another bird sanctuary in place at the top of the cottage, made by "the dream team"...who else!!... It seems like Ant and Andy live here!!..They might be glad of pastures new by the end of this...I am sure they have enjoyed it really!... There have been highs (getting out the ground) and lows (the slippery DPC and race against time with the block work in the rain and cold...oh and the retaining wall collapsing on Pete and Andy!!), and ups (Andy and Ants sense of humour and smiles)and downs (Andy and Ant poorly!! but they only had one day off...and they really should have had a lot longer, they worked through it and they were really poorly!!), but we couldn't have done it without them, they are so reliable and never let you down, and to be honest I am not sure we could have worked that closely with anyone else...nor would we have wanted to actually!... The snow, minus 8 and rain never stopped them, they never moan and they are always happy...highly recommended!!! I think the cottage looks great, cant wait to finish it now!!
