Moving the cats in

It's taken us an age to get here but we finally have the cats down with us now :) The drive from Nottingham wasn't too traumatic, just a mild bit of car sickness (a la Piper) as we pulled off junction 23!

It took a few days for them to settle but they seem right at home now:

Piper was very curious to see what was outside:

And after managing to keep them both in for a week it was time for an explore:

what's up here:

Ah ha! Birds!!!

Pixie has been enjoying herself inside the house:

Whilst also making the most of the local wildlife:

And here is the temporary cat flap Piper has discovered - the service hole for the soil pipe - naturally!

Glad to have them with us here now - another step closer to permanent relocation Somerset!

Finding Clayhill

During September 2014, we spent the month travelling across Somerset 
in search of a project. 

After 50 viewings and 2,500 miles later, we found the one: 

Clayhill House, Charlynch Lane, Bridgwater. 

The site appealed for so many reasons, more than anything it needed work!

Half of the house hadn't been lived in since the 1940s 

- it had literally been shut off:

out of site out of mind...

A little daunted by what we had lying ahead:

It was still worth celebrating:

So, here begins our adventure and our musings on this blog. I hope you'll enjoy following us on our journey.
