Our first offer

We've just hit "send" on our first ever email putting in an offer to buy land and my stomach is churning a little. It's a Sunday night and we've seen a plot three times in the past three days. It's a Sunday night and the agent won't see the offer until the morning. It's a Sunday night and I need to get some sleep before a tough work day tomorrow.

We'll see what happens before I start posting lots more about the site.

Excited of Norwich.

Land Ahoy?

So, we're about to embark on the search for a plot of land that we can call home for years to come. Somewhere to build a house that will cost almost nothing to run. Somewhere in Norfolk that won't up here in the next 25 years. . .

Happisburgh beach is littered with the remains of the houses that have fallen from the sandstone and clay cliffs and Kath's family have witnessed many of them go. Our challenge is to build something stable, sustainable and long-lasting. Something that uses almost no energy to heat and something that generates its own power.

This blog is going to be the place we record our journey, our challenges, our failures and our successes. We hope that it will lead us to others who have been on the journey before us and that it might help to inspire others who follow.
