And so ...

... we continue to think about the Hall and bandy about ideas for its renovation and conversion into a family home. Each time we return to the Hall we see more details we love.

Taming the jungle: part 1.

Today we decided to attack a part of the garden with the help of an industrial-strength strimmer.

Balsam Bashing - or failure to launch ...

This weekend we decided to begin the process of bringing the Himilayan Balsam under control ... 

Himilayan Balsam (Impatiens glandulifera) is actually quite pretty, so we didn't think too much about it on our earlier trips - we thought we'd maybe cull some of it back but happily keep some of it ... as, I said, it is really quite pretty.

The Scout Hut

We have decided to name our to-be-built temporary home in the garden: The Scout Hut.


A design has been finalised and its position in the garden has been confirmed. 


We will share some pictures of it being built as and when we have some.


Exciting times!!!!


In addition, we hope to erect an information board of sorts at the front of the property, by the boundary wall alongside the public right of way. We thought it would be a nice way of keeping those interested in the building and its renovation up to date. We hope that, one day, it'll display a short history of the building - so we must get our historian caps on and get researching!
