Well, at long, long last work starts tomorrow on the land with the arrival today of the diggers. The house has been plotted out, Neil,my brother in law to be(pictured), has cut through the foot high weeds to create the driveway so it is all systems go!

It has not been with out one final twist! The son of the infamous Irish neighbour phoned this morning demanding an urgent meeting with Thijs, our builder, and myself. He claimed he had flown in especially at the request of his mother who was distraught after attempts by Thijs to persuade her to give access. He even threatened to return with his 'heavies' if he upset her again.
And quel surprise, this afternoon he has called to say if Thijs undertakes to do various works to his mothers house they might concide and allow him the access he need s to make the construction easier.! Incredible!
