blog followers

Its very nice that we have some followers of the blog, at least now i don't feel like i'm talking to myself (Although i do occasionally find myself muttering on my own in a corner more and more these days). Went and did Ikea yesterday to get things for the shower room, now I need to convince Barney that tiling the floor in there is what he wants to do on saturday:) I'm off up to the site now to do more hedging, i'm finding it a rather relaxing thing to do, maybe we can offer it to city folk as a rustic workshop?? hum  

Getting close to launch day

The team have been getting their hands dirty, mole hills have been flattened, phone line is in so not long till the site has wireless internet. There still seems to be a lot on our to-do list but have now decided that we will do as much as poss for the open day and not get too worried as this is meant to be fun:) My mum started a really good little hedge with willow and hazel branches so hopefully they will withstand the weather. The open day is getting quite a lot of interest from people wanting to help, lots of offers of buns, scones and other yummies, free cider tasting and apple tree grafting. friends doing face painting and we have another band that want to play ( my dad is in it). Sophies mums has made some cushions for the caravan/shop/office which will soon be looking quite cosy once we get the water butt and tools out of it....    

busy busy weekend

The caravan is in place and sophie has been doing some diy with a saw, so most of the inside is now out... So the putting it back together starts this weekend along with painting the shower room and hopefully the electrics will be in. Got some lovely posters for the open day done by our friend Howard so i'll be picking them up today and sticking them everywhere.
