    Shop & Cafe ready to go but the Court is still closed due to the vast amount of drainage works being done to prevent it flooding again.

    Tons and tons of soil has been excavated ready for the drainage pipes.

    :thumb: Oh yes like the shop & the idea in the cafe of leaving in the old stable boxes in is brilliant.. Like that very much.. Shame about the drainage works still being on going, but it will be worth it in the end.. Lets hope they get finished soon.. Thanks for giving us a sneak preview Pal... :wink::thmb:
