The last couple of years have been ones of major works at the cottage. We aren't that good at posting about them, so here is a summary.
The one we are proudest of, and was the biggest amount of work, was the replacement of the old cobbled path and patio area. Unfortunately our path laying skills weren't up to maintaining it in the condition it deserved.
On a more mundane level, we've also put in new radiators all round, a new modern septic tank, new fire alarm system, new fire doors, fibre internet with improved WiFi, new TV and soundbar.
More fundamental to the patch of land the cottage sits on, we have also put in improved drainage to handle the increase in water running off the mountain during storms. There is still a little more to do on that, but it seems to be handling the water surges better.
The refurbished shop just across the road has recently re-opened, (and the garage will the re-open soon), which brings great benefit to everyone in the village
We truly love the village the cottage is in, the Llŷn is an area of outstanding natural beauty and with the cottage sitting in a conservation area, it is a beautiful place to be to watch the changing seasons go by. We are blessed to be a part of it.
