Where does the time go?!!

Its hard to believe that we moved to Mill Barn Stawell over 2 months ago now, looking back it wasn't the easiest of moves - but we did it. The barns although not in a bad state of repair are not habitable, and they have had very little done to them since they were working barns. There was no running water, drainage, but we did have electricity and there was a telephone cable.

There was loads to do - but somehow in the two weeks between exchanging and completing on the sale we acquired a caravan, got water, electric and temporary drainage and moved our stuff.

The added complication was that the caravan only cost us £100 and it was 34 foot long - so why was this complicated - well at that length the challenge was to negotiate the narrow country roads and the village of Stawell and for £100 it was in a bad state of repair - but hey we always like a challenge.

With a bit of elbow grease and some very sticky flashband it was soon patched up.

Next the paint brushes and the tins of bright cheerful paint came out - we were going yellow inside!

Somehow we did it - well almost - the shower and toilet facilities were a little limited - but we managed - hey the sun was shinning and there was no one about!!
