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.

THE MILL BROUGHT US TO OUR KNEES FOR 3 DAYS!
That title made you read it didn't it... well guys nothing exciting.... We have just been scrubbing aggregate to expose it from the cement and clear staining/protecting the middle floor of the mill. The painter hasn't finished or even close to it, but I thought I would seal the floor before all my hard work of sanding was in vain and it got ruined with dust again. At least now we can wash and sweep it easier, and I think it looks great...but then I would say that eh!... The old tones of the wood that has been in the Mill for 400 years, well some of it, has been brought to life without loosing the old battered look... No I am not talking about Pete... Only kidding I think he has faired better than me actually!! But now our knees are very sore and my bones don't work very well today! Oh and the new little stumpy log burner gets fitted on Wednesday! Thanks to Dad, Mum and Auntie Lou for their help this Saturday too... even thought Auntie lou threw away all our thermostats for the Mill by accident, luckily eagle eye dad rescued them!
