Andrew P Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Back on Topic, and I always feel the Cottage is the central feature of the whole Layout, it's not a focal point but it IS a focal point if you see what I mean. It just sits there almost un obtrusive and forgotten, but the Layout would have no soul without it. Superb planning Kevin. 2 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted August 14, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Don't worry the cottage will stay so the poster I did way back in in 2017 will not be coming to fruition. Just to remind people, I posted this and caused a bit of concern.... Mind you it would give me a great project to do!

You might get hippies there, but they will be NIMBYs who decided to lead a more pastoral life and justify the giant 4x4 so that they can still get to the organic aisle at Waitrose in winter and get their spoilt kids to school safely.

DonB Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 More likely, a visit by a roving "Gypsy" family with horse drawn Caravan, the male head of the family setting up a "rag and bone " collection service(?) The female members developing a fortune-telling and clothes-peg selling enterprise calling door-to-door. followed by an inevitable visit by the local plod , and eventual evacuation leaving the derelict property in even worse condition. Could take a whole summer the get the required paperwork to finalise. I'm sure that John Aherne's legal outfit. ( Quibble and Cuss ) would be delighted to offer advice. Now, there's a challenge to fill those idle moments during the ongoing pandemic.! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
