Going nowhere slowly...

Everything is at a standstill right now. Winter is upon us in the mountains and we are at a standstill where the building is concerned. Our little cabin cottage has a new kitchen lean-to but now we need to start on the bottle wall and we need sand and cement. The road is so bad that I am not sure we could get a delivery truck there! I shall be going there on Monday on my way through to Pretoria and I shall inspect the problems and look for solutions. In the meantime I continue designing a new "inside the hill" cottage. We have decided to go for something much smaller than our farm house is planned to be, and use it for guests or rental when we have finished our own Hill House. This way we will learn from any mistakes we might make - and of course we are hoping not to make any at all! It is frustrating to go so slowly but then patience was never one of my virtues. Got to learn to chill and go with the flow, even if it is at snail's pace:)
