Not ones to waste any time, after receiving our permission to build in the post on Saturday... today we started building! Well, we started digging actually. And it wasn't us digging, it was Wayne the digger man. He's back tomorrow, but pretty much the ground is all ready for the house pad, and we've chewed about a metre down into the bank to make it level. The top soil is being put aside for my potato patch. This is the view from the barn (its a shame I didn't take this in the morning actually because the weather was SO hot and sunny)...
Meanwhile, inside the barn, we are all ready for the arrival of baby Jenkins. There's not much space upstairs but just enough for his baby bed and his tiny little clothes...
And since its now officially spring here in Dunedin, a between-the-showers rainbow, ahhhh:

Hey Sinead, it's great to see you guys have finally made a start, so exciting. Look forward to seeing the progress.
(09.17.09 @ 11:23 AM)I know, so exciting! You'll be able to come and see the house and know that it was brought to life with your help - how cool!
(09.17.09 @ 12:02 PM)Did you notice that you captured a faint secondary rainbow too? Did you know that the colours of a secondary rainbow are inverted compared the primary rainbow, blue will be on the outside and red will be on the inside. You can just about make this out in the photo.

(09.24.09 @ 09:14 AM)I know Katie! Some baby clothes are so tiny - little socks and gloves! Mind you, I never knew that about the secondary rainbow... quite interesting actually...
(09.26.09 @ 02:04 AM)Congratulations Sinead!!! such a beautiful baby!!!
