Embarked on a research mission yesterday. We purchased our days insurance at 10:10 and made a trip to the tip. Fran returned from a sleep over just as we got back. With our merry band complete, we went community shopping. That is, we viewed a place
Heartwood.
A really great community, very different set up to
Lammas. They live almost as an extended family. Legally they are structured as a Housing Co-Op under the Industrial and Provident Societies Act.
It is a place we have been recommended, but they are presently at capacity.
In truth, an extended family is probably not what I am after right now, if anything, I'd rather downsize.
Whilst there, I mucked out a stable and helped build a cord wood wall. Emma helped Richards partner Staci mix cob that was used to plug the gaps. With that experience gained, today we built a cob oven!
