Great news at last... The greenhouse for Emerson has been accepted by the council, albeit with a lot of recommendations that we need to follow. But the main thing is they have said yes and we can talk seriously with the Greenhouse sales people about timings and costs. A moment I have been waiting for, for months (actually over a year) and am so glad that we have finally reached a solid stepping stone.
In other news..... My new tractor had some problems before Christmas and has gone to hospital (mechanics), I'm hoping that it will come back soon. Affordable Tractors who I bought it from have been most helpful with offering support and the warranty, there were no questions about taking off to get fixed, which is also a massive relief.
The Kitchen is up and running again for the term and we are getting some great meals with loads of local produce luckily. It will be interesting to see how the term progresses and what rhythm the kitchen gets into.
My seed order for the coming season is completed and I'm trying to send it off in the many formats different companies ask for. It seems that, like last year it always takes longer than one would expect. Some companies ask for fax, others you select online and others ask that you send a cheque.... I'm quite sure I'll be ordering more in the coming months as I use the stocks up, I'd rather keep to a minimum and not waste seeds than order too much and have to start throwing them out.... making seeds is a form of art that should not be thrown away.
