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.

BEEN BUSY
After software issues after software issues, and about 130 hours of sorting it, life has been hectic! The office has been down and my head has been overloaded, but we are getting there now just very behind....We have a really busy week this week, with the bathroom and kitchen being taken out of Buttercup cottage, the people left at 9am and I had it all out by 12! mum and dad popped over for what they thought a brief visit, but I had them roped in on dropping steve and shadow while I go others sorted.....sorry!!, so waiting on a plumber and electrician to disconnect me and then I can paint where the new kitchen is going as it is arriving early just to make sure I am on my toes, its also Vat return time, and the wardrobes that we have been waiting for are being installed on the top floor today and tomorrow, which means I have to clear both those rooms to get the wood in to build them. The dogs have had their haircuts this week oh and to just make sure it is super busy, Laura popped home from uni for a couple of days as we needed to get a full length black dress for her concert to perform her flute in, I worked all sunday so I could take monday morning off, zoomed to truro and trawled the shops, by that I mean we ran in each one and asked if they did full length black dresses and waited for the reply and quickly moved on. Finally found the only one in the town in a very expensive shop (would be wouldnt it!) but couldnt afford not to get it as they are few and far between. It looked great but was a little long, so I rang a dress maker from the shop and flew back to her place to get the dress fitted and made her feel sorry for us that we really needed it NOW...she really kindly agreed to do it that night for laura to take back the next day, oh we picked up a pair of high shoes on the way through too,..I missed my calling in life, I should have been a helicopter...oh no the kids think I am one....result!
