For those of you who loved the peace and quiet of Seagulls Log Cabin, I can guarantee you will find even more peace and tranquility at Albatross Lodge.

Epitaph

It is with sadness that I have to announce that Seagulls Log Cabin will not be rebuilt. Following the fire on 8th May 2020 I had hoped to replace the lodge. Unfortunately the delays and costs incurred have meant I am not in a position to carry on.

Tingdene, the site owner, didn't allow the unit I wanted which would have allowed me to reopen. This meant no earning through summer and no grants through lockdown.
Tingdene also continued to charge me full ground rent for the empty plot (£3600) and wanted a further £3000+ for the following year. The log cabin kit I ordered hadn't been built by the end of January and I lost most of my considerable deposit.

There is a limit to how much you can pay out with nothing coming in.

So today the skip arrived to remove the gazebo and leave a clear site.

Its very sad.
Especially since Tingdene made a profit of over £1million but won't offer any concession on my rent. I paid in full from 8th May to 31st December 2020 but just can't afford another £3k plus rebuild costs and missing the 2021 season.

Good bye Seagulls Log Cabin.

Log Cabin update

Still no progress, ten days after my beautiful log cabin burned down.

I need the fire investigators report before insurance will authorise demolition. I used to write my reports on the same day. Apparently insurance assessors do not 😔

I feel totally helpless. If it were down to me, I'd have three skips filled by now and be saving as many of my plants as possible.

I wrote an obituary when it happened. Sad, maybe.
I planned to post it with a video of the demolition. But that isn't getting any nearer.
So here it is;

Obituary

Seagulls Log Cabin 10th February 2010 - 8th May 2020, VE day

I bought my log cabin in February 2010 using the (tiny) inheritance l received from my mum as a deposit. It was always her dream for me to buy it.

I stretched myself to the limit financially to make the repayments to Gavin Wogman, the then site owner.

Five years later, I had repaid the loan to him (although I still had debt from the purchase, it was more manageable)

From that day, I poured every penny of profit back into the most amazing space I will ever own.

I started with the garden, fencing and decking it. Then the six seater hot tub, which I was amazed to be able to get finance for. It came with a beautiful gazebo which I later developed into a contemporary seating area.
Once the whirlpool bath loan was repaid, I bought a sauna. Having to dry yourself after the hot tub was just too much work! - just pop in the sauna next to it.
I installed solar panels to fit with my environmental beliefs and last November put in the most amazing log burner. This proved so popular with my winter guests that I only got to use it myself a handful of times.

Internally, the furniture was all replaced several times over, and of course constant decorating and maintenance as the numerous excited children caused a certain amount of wear and tear!

Then, on VE day, my dream holiday home was decimated by fire. To make matters worse, it was not an accident.

I'm left with a pile of ashes, a cold heart, and a financial debt which will eat into the insurance payout (I had recently reduced the sum assured to help cashflow during this difficult time)

My log cabin was my pride and joy. Every time I walked in I just went 'wow'. I couldn't believe it was mine. It gave so much pleasure to so many people. I planned to retire there.

And now it's gone. Whether by vandalism or malicious intent, we will probably never know. But I don't want to dwell on this. I want to remember the good times. And my mum, without whom I would never have had the pleasure of owning such a beautiful property.

But I will start again.
I will call my next holiday home Phoenix (although the relationship to Seagulls is somewhat tenuous).
And I will remember my mum with my new business venture.

Thank you.

One final note. I know that there is speculation that this is an 'insurance job'. On my childrens' life, I had absolutely nothing to do with this. And with my background of crime and fire investigation, I would have done a much better job and become rich!!!

So sorry to break this devastating news to my wonderful guests in this way.

My beautiful log cabin is totally gutted.
And so am I 😪😪😪

Waiting for the police and fire brigade to make it safe.
