1st February 2007: The extension to the house for our son Stuart finally begins after four years of planning and consultations with the local council. Old garage base has been removed.

1st March 2007: The foundation trenches have been dug but sadly, due to the rain and mud, look like something out of the Battle of The Somme from the First World War!!

12th March2007: The concrete was poured last week and much of the block work for the underbuilding was done at the week-end. Those of you who know me well should look out for the small yellow object on one of the blocks!

I hope I am not boring you but this work has been so long at the planning and funding stages we are all just so pleased to see progress. I will post more photos soon.
