Settling In

We've had a fun few days up in Teesdale. We've had the AGA and boiler serviced, and the chimney swept, so the house is on the way to being toasty. We now have a landline and broadband, so can keep in touch, as our mobile signal is rather patchy.

 Would you like a look around?

This is the front of the building. The barn is on the right, with the cow byre on the left.

This is the barn from the back. Replacing those plastic barn doors in hardwood is one of our first projects. 

This is our view from the kitchen - we have hills! That's our barn in the middle ground; we're still discussing plans for that. Our garden is in the foreground, with our field behind the wall, stretching off to the right. 

And here are our neighbours' Herdwicks. These sheep, which were bred by Beatrix Potter, are renowned for their hardiness. They have such pretty faces, and will soon be lambing.
