As of this morning we have a front door! All that is missing is glass panes and a handle and then we can experience entering our emerging new home for real.

The lovely team from Balfour Beatty will hand over to our builder Simon next week and then the work on creating our internal space will start and we should see some real signs of what the new café and cookery school will look like.

Meanwhile we are busy with two more weeks of cooking with youngsters doing their Duke of Edinburgh residential Gold Award.
