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.

TRYING TO KEEP UP
We are currently adding a forth bedroom at the back of the house and some Muppet who did our felt and batten for us, decided to do it like wrapping a present instead of correctly, so in all this torrential rain we have had leak after leak, sometimes more like rivers int he house, we have buckets everywhere...But lucky for us Tom a friend of ours is able to come Monday to redo it and slate it to make us water tight. We also have another nightmare the whole roof has to come off to be re slated so looks like that will be happening between Xmas and new year or something! yippee dooo! Can it get any better!.... So we have been working flat out on the extension.....Purl Design is also really busy so we are really trying to hold it all together in the hope of having Christmas day off! I was told to cut my stress and hours by the doc....I am hoping this will happen after xmas a bit! On and off poorly at the mo, depends on which day and whether my body wants to do what my brain is telling it!...I think I do quite well though I keep on going, bit like a Duracell battery advert eh! I try to get some photos of extension when I have a minute and the rain stops, but currently I am catching water in buckets or wading through mud in the field....Oh my glamorous life!
4 STAR GOLD
We had our inspection last week or was it the week before? Well we had it anyway, we were busy doing all the outside gardening and maintenance, whilst Perfect Example were taking care of the insides of the cottages, it usually takes me at least a month to go through all the inventories and make sure everything is right, and then I panic and do it all over again, when really its fine in the first place, so to have Scott and his team I am really pleased, it takes a bit of pressure off.....
Anyway we achieved four star gold, we cant get to five star because we cannot fit washing machines in each unit, we have a very nice laundry though! So congrats to everyone involved.
