Progress Update

I logged onto this blog today and am a bit dismayed that I have not updated since January.  Shame on me.  And its not like I haven't had anything to say but that is probably the problem.   Finally after years of preparation which included buying a block of land.  Buying another block of land after hubby saw it on a bike ride. Accepting an offer on first block of land.  Sale failed due to banks not financing as high a precentage on rural land.  Accepting another offer on first block of land. Sale failed due to banks not financing as high a precentage on rural land. Finally 2nd block becoming registered with Lands Department.  Accepting an offer on first block of land. Sale failed due to banks not financing as high a precentage on rural land.  Picking builder and paying deposit. Accepting an offer on first block of land.  SALE FINALISED - which really means money in the bank.  No my copy/paste did not get stuck.  What a saga.
 
So now we are here.


 The photo below is Panorama from the Iphone Camera.  It has made the house look wonky and its straight across not U shaped like it seems.

 
I can't say how much I am looking forward to sitting on my verandahs with this view. A little stitching and a cuppa or glass of wine. I'll feel like I'm on retreat every day.
 
Maybe to do more work on this.

Everythings finally coming together.
