A few steps forward and a few back, that seems to be the story out here. We went in high expectation last week, to sign the deeds, only to be told that in fact the licence wasn't at our lawyers office, a secretary had made a mistake. So, we wait for the call. We do have a letter from the lady who is selling us the land to say that we can start clearing and getting our drawings passed by planning and health. So the photo is of Jeff wielding his machete, clearing a path for me to get to the bottom of the plot. The professionals will start to clear the land at the end of this week but we were keen to see what trees and shrubs could be kept. That is probably wishful thinking on my part as I am led to believe that once clearing starts everything in their path will be chopped down.
