July 3rd 2013 The decision is made

I am going to build the extension. @Donna came for lunch and we hatched a plan. The sun shone for the first time in months, and continued to do so well into the autumn. No more waiting. Amazingly I visited Kate Dornan the next evening and they have just finished a dreamy big extension. Have arranged to meet with Herbie for advice.

Spoke to the people down the road on the edge of 2nd and 4th, whose recently built extension I have admired for so long. Their architect is called Iain Stewart.

Off on our Garden Tour to the West of Ireland. All thoughts of extensions slightly in the background.

Good discussion with Robert Wharton. He will be the builder. I don't want to consider anyone else.
A visit from Herbie. He thinks it should be simple enough and not need planning permission or an architect.

The first draft. After many hours of torture on the IKEA planner. Just realised this is not the first draft the next one is. Ahh well.
