We took Ellie for a walk and noticed the giant rhubarb has started to grow at Preston Court. It’s amazing how quickly it grows and how huge it will become.
As we arrived home drain men were there from the council. We were told they were coming and they waited until we were there before they started their work. I made them tea and they were so grateful. Doesn’t anyone make contractors a drink any more?! From what they were saying, no they don’t!
We had a Groupon voucher for afternoon tea at Wyevale Garden centre and as Mal wanted some things for the allotment we drove over there. It was good, Mal ate most of the cakes! It also included never ending coffee or tea. What a bargain for £10.
We were still waiting for a decision on the house we went to view the previous day. On the way to the garden centre we had a phone call from the agent saying it was down to us and the owner wanted to meet us .
Yesterday I was quite stressed about having to move until we spoke to one of our neighbours, Jo who has not been well for a while and she has now been diagnosed with Parkinsons, poor girl she is only about mid 30’s. That totally put things in perspective. It had been additional stress that we took a gamble and gave our notice in the previous night, to leave on 11th May. Quite funny really as the landlord got straight on to us and offered us an additional months notice, which made 4 months!!
We went to see the new owner early evening and yes, we can have the cottage! It is so nice and quirky, well, we like different. It has a huge garden and is down a very quiet lane. This is the lane down to the house.
The land surrounding the cottage was once owned by Juliana de Leybourne who in the 12th century was the richest woman in England. There is a lot of very interesting history around the cottage.
