Hops

So we went and did a bit of gardening today - letting it all go back to the wild helps nobody. Bit of weeding on the south side, where the trees are thin and weeds can thrive if you let um.

Wasn't all work though..

Lyn spent some time planning where the meadow grass will be sown:

The golden mulch is actually spent hops from the local brewery Torrside Brewing

I stood around taking photos for a bit.

Don't have any more news of planning yet I'm afraid, it will be ages until they answer our answer to the planning refusal. Slowly, slowly...

Blazing

Just had our planning application refused, with four reasons detailed. None of the reasons are actually relevant to our application. 

Utter cut & paste nonsense.

I know there's a staffing problem as in so many places now, which means everyone is overworked. However, the person that did this to us must realise the effect it has. How long would it take to double check the letter?

To say the least, we're angry at the planning office.

I'll say no more, for fear of regretting it.
