For the Garden

 Made a thing.

..in anticipation of having a garden to put it in.

My Front Door

Hope to be repeating this image in a few short months (possibly 36) with a slightly better door.

Might also replace the hat.

Update - 20200820

 So progress. We completed on the purchase of Mount Pleasant today. Whoopee, we now own a ruin.

Our house has sold, subject to survey, to the first viewer. That was always going to be the easy part, to be fair.

Still in talks with Jeremy (Architect) about how to make a house and a business venture out of this thing. Here's Lyn marking up his latest outline...

Lyn is also in discussions to get the various utilities (re)connected.

More soon.

First planning session

Had the dream team round for coffee. Lots of ideas discussed.

(..and beer)

Owl thing

So details. We bought the old Methodist Free Church building in New Mills. It burned out in the 1990s and really all that remains are four walls and some graves. Trees have grown up in the building and the adjoining Sunday school building, which is part of the property. Pics:

We intend to make the home we've always wanted - detached, not overlooked, lots of light, views across the valley to Kinder Scout. Currently we're still arranging meetings with an architect and an engineer. Then we'll know more about how it will end up.

Had a mooch around this morning and saw this little chap sleeping in one of the trees..

..so decided to rename my blog in his honour.

More soon. This might fall through even yet..

Later taters

Church renovation project.

Well well. Anyone still subscribed to the squirrel?

So we're buying a church. To make a house.

More soon.

Guitar

I'm learning guitar. So far I've played scales, and today my first ever chords. G, C and D.

My fingers now look like bishops' hats.

Am I supposed to be able to play more than one of these per song? Bollocks to that.
