Well, We've been in just over 4 months, so I thought I'd post an update for folk. We didn't get much done before Christmas, as the house needed so much doing to get it liveable. A neighbour with a Digger helped us get up and running in the new year, though. Dug out the base for our Polytunnel, currently sitting in the garden waiting for some settled weather. We stripped the turf off some pasture and got a fruit bed in, with raspberries, red, white and black currants, gooseberries and rhubarb with strawberries to follow. We allso planted up a small orchard with 11 apples trees, and may extend that next year.
Currently erecting a shed for tools, and the polytunnel when the weather improves. I reckon I'll need to fence off the fruit and beg areas as I think there may be rabbits about!
