As Sam Cook said.....

....in a very different context, it's been a long time coming, or at least it seems that way. But it's a wonderful feeling to be able to share the great news that the Heritage Lottery has approved our application. Now we can unleash John Coward Architects and look forward to seeing their reports. News of our success has been well received all round, with top media coverage from the NW Evening Mail and BBC Radio Cumbria, and plenty of supportive comment on social media, all good to see. The last couple of months have seemed strange, knowing that there was nothing more we could do on the NN House project until we heard from the Lottery. Now, it's back to a busy life again!
