2013 'n' all that

It is 2nd January and has just stopped raining. We have to feed the sheep today and try to get the rest of the kit moved to a totally dry place as some panels have got wet this last week or two. Funnily enough we have had virtually no pure westerlies this autumn so the stored kit has been protected from the worst of the weather up til now. 

We do have enough bits of kit to put up the small 9m roundhouse which was to be the annex and then try to get it finished and move into it during 2013. As we do not have enough funds left from the damage done by Mr Tim Allan this will have to be finished as and when, unless there is a minor miracle.

2012 was a very bad year for us as, after we lost all the kit money and struggled to get some kind of justice or redress, we had major problems getting the missing splines made up for the kit due to supplier issues. We really have had far too many problems with building industry suppliers of whom a considerable number who seem to be ripoff merchants, unreliable, unable to meet the required quality or have poor customer relations.

We are still amazed that the law offers no protection. Anybody who knows how to play the system can run a business into the ground, either through incompetence or by corruption and will get away with it. Lets hope we make some headway with the powers that be in 2013 as their disinterest, unwillingness to act and lack of concern has been stunning up to now.
