 Well today did not go the way I had hoped. I had to trade my day of stitching at home watching Phantom Of The Opera for a day of running around Real Estate Agents and Council. It all started when Bren went to the local Council chambers this morning to drop off our application form to have the zoning changed for the cottage we are hoping to move the Shop into. It is currently zoned for holiday leasing and we want it changed to commercial. We have done so much running around making sure we had dotted all the I's and crossed all the T's with aqll the application forms only to find out this morning that because of the square meterage of the house we need to provide 7-8 car spaces for customers instead of the 4 spaces that are on the property. We can't belive it. The crazy thing is that there is so much on street parking that no-one else visiting any of the galleries in the street ever use the car spaces provided. They just park in front and go in. Bren is going back in the morning to see if there is anything we can do. Because there was a lot of extra research to do today, with Bren in the shop I did all the running around. What a horrid day. Sorry to complain so much, it's just been such a disappointing day. Please keep your fingers crossed that we get some good news tomorrow.
To try and shake the blues off tonight I did a little stitching on HOHRH. I am so looking forward to finishing my first house square. Hopefully I will get there in the next couple of nights. Thanks for letting me vent guys.

It must be hard running your own business! I hope things go your way whn you go back to the zoning board. Did they require the other shops nearby to have those extra spaces?
