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.

SUMMERHOUSE NEARLY COMPLETE!!
Its been really really hard work and a lot of blisters!! late nights and LONG weekends!! but finally we are there, it took about 7 hours to get the patio doors out of the Mill to be rehoused in the summerhouse, they were built in with 9 inch ties and wedged in like you wouldn't believe!! but after sawing and banging and angle grinding and setting fire to hair and clothes!! we eventually got them out. Then Sunday Colin ..Petes brother made the mistake of popping in for a cup of tea and ended up helping us carry the furniture up a ladder to move into the summer house and get a kitchen unit out to put up there, just for storage tho! Just need a bit of worktop... Bet he is REAL glad he popped in! Wont be having a kitchen just cold water feed for a cuppa and an outside draining board for washing any cups and plates! In hind sight it may have been easier to build the bridge to get to it first???? NO don't be silly we will wait a while for that eh!!
