Slowing Down...But not Forgotten.

Work slowed down from Late 2010. There was almost a full year when very little work was done on the house and few photographs were taken also.
In May 2010 I discovered I was pregnant again, Lily was just over 10months old when we found out and we were delighted and happy that we would have two kid so close in age.
Clint was here helping us work on the house.
Very tragically in Oct 2010 we delivered Isla Rose and unfortunately she wasn't meant for this world.
We needed to take time out.....
This Blog is not about our personal life and mainly focused on the house. I only mention our children as anyone with kids can understand plans can be changed and altered, and I feel I need to explain why there may be large lapses of time when the house was sitting stuck in a time warp and getting no love.
We found out we were expecting baby number 3 in December 2010
It was a shock, but a wonderful shock.
In January 2011, during a very very stormy winters night some very nasty people decided that our only asset (Our 2005 Touring Caravan) was worth stealing.
We woke to our caravan gone and our gates and old wall busted up....We had moved our Big Wagon to the top of the property and the little caravan was at the other end of the property with the house in between...so we didn't hear anything and in a way I'm glad we didn't.

We felt bruised from life lessons and exhausted..Lily was our shining light.

I have little to catalogue here from 2011, other than the birth of our healthy happy baby boy George on 2nd Sep.



On a twist of fate. Our good friends had a corrugated barn collapse and needed to dismantle it. We recycled the sheets and reused them to cover our roof, until we get our thatch in the future.

We did do alot of ground work around here in 2011. Hector from Madrid and Danny from Argentina spent a few months here in the spring and helped get the sheets on the roof and whitewash the outbuildings.
