As we go on our journey through life, we make decisions which are often life changing and occasionally give cause for reflection why?
After two years of faffing about, we finally bought Holly Cottage in February this year and having lived here for some eleven months now, have planted a new orchard, built a temporary new driveway, expanded our little flock of poultry and applied for Building Control permission to commence construction work. In all for we amateur property magnates and non-builders, a very stressful period.
But why? We love living in the countryside and can now keep our horses and poultry at home, we have (or will have) a cosy cottage, not too big but enough for the kids to stay, and a nice garden in due course. We also have lovely views and are surrounded by places to walk and cycle.
The thing that makes it really special is, like this morning, we can stand at what will become our bedroom window and see things like this only 20m away...........
