OK so maybe I lied, no rainbows here today. Loads of wood to bring in to keep the fire going.
Warm living room rest of the house less so. Absolutely broke, had to pray the bank would let us fill the car today, that's one slight less worry.
I'm in coll tomorrow, with Bethan, student off on manoeuvres a couple of days this week. It's a tough time financially we have not been this broke in about 15 years.
There is light at the end of the tunnel though. 2 years ago we had one sprawling house in need of refurbishment Now we have two houses and one small flat. This time next year we will have a brand new cottage as well one that features super insulation and generate at least some of it's own power.
The grand scheme to rent some of this land out for wind generation seems to have fallen by the wayside as the Nazi Parks threatened a veto, so it's not all good news. The drive too is looking a bit second hand, serial serious pot holes have appeared. We did a quick fix yesterday but I think something more permanent is indicated.
Talk about a money pit.

it is a long haul job, but you're steadily getting there.
Perhaps we could come over and lend a hand for a week or so next year?
If nothing else The Pirate would be in Seventh Heaven to see your Fergie and Green Goddesses!!
It's taken us 20 years but we are starting to get serious
