Thought for the day :"If there were a pill to cure procrastination I would probably take it tomorrow .. or maybe the next day."
So - went public on the progress towards a new premises.... On the Glamping Page, Group, and my own profile...
Glamping the Moon : Weekly Update No 2...
Well it is the 20th Feb so we are only a couple of weeks from early decisions and we have moved into a new phase...
Unexpectedly we have done what is probably a sensible thing and decided to downsize - a monumental task - but probably for the good overall...
House sale in New Milton proceeding well - getting near to exchange of contract I believe -
House in Llanelli - not up for sale yet - using as a staging post...
Sunday we viewed a 2 Acre "Market Garden" property in the middle of nowhere in West Wales - a village called Rhydlewis... (SA44 5QY).
With all the flooding in the country we have decided to buy a riverside property!!
It is not large enough for some of our previous plans such as the 30 acre glamping site - but is well laid out for veg and fruit, has room for some sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks and already has 3 peacocks in an enclosure.
Susie has plans for perhaps 2 glamping pods in the ornamental walkway (otherwise known as the overgrown bottom section) and yes - there is an area for a tavern - we will need it as the cottage is too small to keep my guitars in let alone our furniture.... and we will need somewhere to put the piano and harmonium....
So - let me introduce you to Bluebell Cottage .... Though we will probably revert to the original Welsh name of Ffynnon Wen - The White Fountain or White Spring (it has two!)
Offer has gone in and been accepted...
So please watch this space - we are now starting to downsize and will be selling many items - probably at nominal cost as we would prefer our life time of collected goods to go to people we know - Also keep in touch as we would love to invite you to our housewarming some day - and may even be able to Glamp the Moon

In other news... I said I was not a mourning person !!
Well today - I picked an old bedroom
picked everything up - anything that looks as though it could sell is photographed and put in a pile, sheets and bedding put to one side for local homeless shelter and animal rescue (charity will not take bedding) then a pile for Cash for Clothes - underwear and damaged clothes in a rubbish bag - nowhere near us pulping clothes.. Bras to Bra Recycling - (luckily a local bra bank)
Spectacles to local Spec Savers - a gathering place for overseas eyesight recycling.... and general rubbish.........
Photographed the bedroom furniture, and will take that to local furniture/ second hand shop tomorrow to see if they are interested ... and uploaded photos to google pictures for sorting later ..... A start but took all day for one room ....
And off we go with day 2 ....
In other news
And a touch of history - the Coop Bridge in Llanelli Murray Street being removed
and then there is the power of books and the bookshelf ...
Sadly I think I will have to discard several thousand books ..
and then I see this ...
Love it ....
Cheers !
