Waiting again

So with phase 1 of the build completed in a couple of weeks there isn't much happening at the cottage at the moment. Having finished the opening up exercise we are now waiting for the structural report to be completed and added to the rest of the technical documents to be sent to the planners. Once this is done we then have to wait on their decision before moving onto phase 2.. If waiting was a sport we'd be turning out for England.. and the sponsorship deals and massive weekly wage could pay for the building work.. and I could drive round in a Ferrari.. why the hell isn't waiting a sport!

One (sort of) interesting thing that has happened is that we appear to have a snake infestation* in the garden as Pete discovered when moving a pile of rubbish. An Adder had made the pile of old prams and bedpans it's home and when disturbed, legged it (slithered slowly) up the nearest tree and hasn't been seen since. Like Indiana Jones, Laura has a slight phobia of snakes so having one knocking round the garden is pretty fun for me.. "look out.. snaaaaaake!!"

Anyway, here's a few pics from last Sunday of not very much.

*can you have an infestation of one?

Indiana Rowley and Hels Bells check for snakes in the kitchen.
