Goldurn Gordon!

Well, he got us.

A man named Gordon, wanting to get revenge on our landlord, host and friend Martin, complained to the Council about our yurt. Gordon hoped to get Martin in trouble. Instead, this has accelerated Martin's timetable for getting all the buildings on the property fully legalized. We've been caught in the crossfire, and now have to take down our yurt; we can put it up again in December on a different part of the property.

The legal issue is: right now, the yurt is in a "grazing field"; it needs to be in a "garden". Okay, we'll move it the hundred meters we must in order to comply....

In the meantime, we are moving into the cabin ("the Moulton Residence") that is our official dwelling. This takes some renovation work, and we've been feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about it all. After about a month of uncertainty, now we are finally feeling that it's okay, we can live in this place without any extra (sweet and yurty!) space.

This has been an update about our journey...
