Sorry for the delay

Bit of an update =>

The move went well but I've ended up with a several time consuming "situations" that I need to address before I get back to some happy Volvo-ing

The plan at the moment is to build a large two car + carport (probably be about 6 and a bit meters wide and 7 meters deep) - knock down an existing (far too small) leaning wooden garage - see if I have enough cash for a nice oak timber frame and wattle and daub construction (this would be ideal - if not I'll have to adjust my wish list) and build all that before the winter...

...whilst I start everything with a strong element of hope I get feeling that I won't get the new garage / workshop done before the winter. The carport should get done even though I need to dig out three large tree stumps and raise a fair amount of the ground by about a meter.

Lots of humping and dumping to be done before I get myself organised again.

I can only really post up pictures of mud and building at the moment which I guess isn't going to be particularly welcome on a car forum (!)
