I was hoping to report on the visit from the council planner, but unfortunately he has succumbed to the dreaded lurgy that seems to be doing the rounds up here. So no visit & we will have to reschedule. This means we can't go ahead with any of the building plans yet which we wanted to get going before Christmas, but hey I am learning to slow my pace down to Suffolk time & it will happen when it happens!
So to compensate we drove down to Peasenhall to Emmett's to order our ham for Christmas. It really is delicious, traditional suffolk black ham which is steeped in black porter beer.
I really do feel at home up here. We haven't left London a week yet & we don't even think of it anymore, it's as though it never happened. Except for all our friends, I really do miss them.
We had our first delivery of oil today. This is a new experience for us, & an expensive one. Not sure how costs to gas compare, time will tell. All I know is that I wrote a very large cheque. I am learning to put on another jumper rather than turn up the thermostat.
I really will try to sort out photos so there is a before & after look.
Maybe I will stop now & have an experiment.
Goodnight
