15 Apr 11Letters and SorbasToday started out with a letter from Sorbas Town Council, a very long and scary letter about our Building Permission request with a 10 day deadline for response - eeek! We'd planned to take some friends to see the Earthship then lunch in Sorbas, so did a quick replan and went to Sorbas first. They looked around the town, joined in an Easter procession and routled around the local potters workshops. We went to talk to the town planner about the letter.
