The neighbours are building something. All I can say is you get what you pay for.

Being an Englishman, I insisted we get geological reports and planning permission signed in triplicate.

Regrettably, that did mean we had to comply with building regulations, which made ours a complicated build.

Five metres away from any road or boundary on a steep hillside is tricky, to say the least. I suppose that’s why the locals don’t bother with approval at all.

Hence, those stacks of bricks set on concrete pads 20cm deep, upon which we presume some kind of wooden structure will be built.

We watch progress with curious interest.
