Pots............

..............should any of my local friends be offered some "shabby chic" terracotta plant pots, they are probably ours!! The local down and outs have emptied all the dead/overgrown plants out of the remaining pots & taken them.

We did at least manage to re-board up the windows this weekend. We also started to stake out the house (only very roughly) so we are at least getting an idea of the positioning of the house.

Today, T2 and I have met the water board and a tree man up at the site. The good news is we now know where the stopcock is, and the tree man seemed undaunted by the scale of the project (unlike my Husband & I!)
