The best laid plans of mice and men...
Old Rabbie Burns was right on the mark; gang aft aglay indeed. Of course, the fact that he came from just down the road from Thornhill probably helped.
The local Council have decided that an earthquake fault line is, in fact, an earthquake fault zone so we've had to move the house 55 metres to the north. It doesn't spoil the view and probably allows a better landscaping and garden area but it has been a bit of a problem.
The position of the garage is apparently compromised but, no doubt, we'll overcome that. The electricity is on site but there's a worrying bit of subsidence near the water tanks. The workers 'caravan' is there as also are some large funghi!
The day was beautiful, calm and sunny, and I saw two kingfishers so that's a record. And a cow was paddling in the lake :)
