Back to basics

This continues to be a fascinating exercise of attempting to express my thoughts that whirl around in my head all day and sometimes the night in a vaguely logical format.  However I suspect I'm not there yet but it's all good practice!

I should actually get back to basics (without wanting sound like an old political slogan) and describe the plot of land we intend to build our house on.  Flora would rather call it our garden because it is an established wall garden roughly 75 m in length, one end is around 25 m and the other is around 35 m.  The long aspect faces SE / S.  The garden is nestled in between the large roofed and slightly imposing telephone exchange on one side and on the other Provender Mill, a former industrial mill now having being resorted a black cladded residential building rising up to five stories in height (though only a small element).  Behind is the primary school that I started my school days (in between is a quiet one lane road).  To the south and again crossing a small road / lane is a two storey restored stable building now being used as another residential cottage.
