Projected Plot Plan - Just an idea....

I thought I would share a thought with you. We have done a plan sketch of the plot which is to scale, 1cm to 5m, this is just an idea moving forward. You can see that I didn't do this drawing as its too organised and detailed but this gives some idea of what we are aiming at once we have moved in. The conservatory has not been purchased yet, but it will happen, we have no idea what kind but this will probably be the size. You may note that the gates to the drive way come half way up it........we have questioned this design but unfortunately this is as per plan. Once we have completed and moved in then I think I will be moving the gate forward to incorporate all of the driveway and therefore give complete private parking for the motor :-). Please note that I drive the blue car and not the pink one LOL!!!

We will see how that goes!!

Beginning of March

Well after what seems like a very long week, the weekend came. I think all the paperwork has been completed now and we just need to sign on the line, this is due late March. I will give all parties a call early next week just to make sure that we are ready or at least its moving forward.

We drove down to the plot as per usual, the sun was out in Hampshire today, so the drive was enjoyable and took no time at all. We had a guest with us this weekend who was keen to see the house.....difficult as there was nothing there except a muddy patch. We went to the site office to say hello and we were introduced to a lady who turned out to be our neighbour of the furture. We were very pleased to see that she was very friendly and very chatty, this was perfect as it was an early introduction to the immediate neighbourhood. As it turned out, she invited us to look around her house which is the same shape as ours, so we were able to show our guest the house or a similar house.

We stroll around to her plot and we were invited into the house and let loose on browsing the plan/layout to our guest of the day. I mentioned this blog and our new neighbour asked if her house was featured........YES YES YES, sorry all the pictures of the house type are in fact our neighbours house, so I apologised but she seemed happy that we had used these pictures.

We are very excited to have such a friendly neighbour and we are now even more looking forward to moving in  later in the year. Goodbyes were said and we went for lunch.

No prizes for guessing where we went for lunch, down into Andover town centre and into the Copper Kettle. Its such a great friendly place, the food and service is excellent so I see no reason yet to change our lunch location. Some shopping was done and then we headed back to Wiltshire. We did stop on the way back, just outside Andover there is a little arts and craft place, so we stopped and had a look around. The first little shop we went into was a cake and chocolate dream. The aroma was to die for. Needless to say, I had to buy some of the bad stuff, also, needless to say that not a lot made it home :-)

Anyway, I will update more when something happens.........is Spring here yet??
