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.



... we get excited at the prospect of relocating to the Shibden Valley and moving into the temporary accommodation in the garden.

... we think about how to save the garden from becoming the Grimpin Mire - wellies are frequently being lost and we fear for worse as autumn begins and these rains can only get more frequent.

... we look forward to seeing the elusive duck/water fowl who seems to be a secretive resident in the garden's pond.

... and dare I say, we have begun to think about our first family Christmas ...

In the next few weeks we hope to update the blog with more information about these things.
