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.

MAD????
I just had to tell you this...I had a right day of it and was covered in muck for most of it.....decided to have an early bath and scrub up!....It was 8.30pm and just jumped in the bath whilst Pete went to the shop. AAAhhhh bliss...NOT... There was a shout from downstairs "mum someone at the door'...so couldn't be bothered to argue who was going to deal with it, so jumped out grabbed dressing gown, ran outside only to find Pete saying I wasn't in....I thought about a hasty retreat, but too late I was sprung!... Gladly speaking to the lady (she knows who she is!)...thought whilst I was at it I would show her the puppies...forgetting I was still bare foot and in my dressing gown!...meanwhile Pete lets me in on why he isn't at the shop....the goat was out and he said it in rather a desperate tone!...oblivious to this at the time, I say yes yes I will be down to help shortly...he laughed in disbelief that I wasn't panicked and set about catching the goat as I showed the lady our puppies. Just got through the door and the woman's face was a picture, I said ' cute aren't they"....THEN i saw the rabbit they were pulling apart...the lady must have thought I fed them rabbits... I tried to explain that I don't and that lucky catches them and tries to feed the pups, I remove the rabbit only to return to find them all suckling on Lucky with a noise to deafen of slurping bliss....only moments earlier I had explained that we keep lucky apart from the pups as they are no longer allowed to suckle!!!.....WHY ME!!!!.... I fill the salt ..which is all she needed really...poor lady and donned wellies (still in dressing gown) and went to help catch the damn goat...that I realised after back tracking the conversation was an urgent requirement rather than a comment!!!!......OH MAN WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!
