Gwyn thinks he’s only a couple weeks away from submitting our full planning application…

Let’s not hold our breath…reminder to all that he said he’d have it ready by last summer…and then Christmas… and then the end of January…February… but he’s been working very hard and we’re not far off…REALLY this time…

We’ve got some words to finish writing, some pictures to make pretty… and then we’re hoping for a conversation with a planning officer just to ensure we’re ticking all the boxes we need to, and then we’re in…

In the meantime, Gwyn’s been hard at work with clearing more paths. We also had fun starting a dead hedge, and we’ve made plans to get a willow bed planted (Or ‘Basketry crop’ as we’ll say in our planning application…apparently conservative men from agricultural backgrounds of a certain age take a dislike to the word ‘willow’…)

I’ve made a couple fun videos for you to enjoy – and some pictures – and Spring is definitely on the way… though like last year we’re a few weeks behind everywhere else on our north facing hill.

Maybe…maybe in a couple weeks time I’ll be posting multiple exciting pictures and telling you we’re on our official wait for approval!
