With Solar hot water/biofuel heating/rainwater harvesting & grey water recycling?

Or is it too gimmicky?

Sounds great - and I love the yoga and visualisation exercises.

Thats the kind of thing I think my DD would benefit from, but I have no idea how to go about doing it with her (would love to do yoga myself but have no spare money for a course and don't feel happy with the dvd style method...)

I don't know much about yoga...I'm a bit more interested in the green building

I think a lot of parents will like the idea of a green nursery. It will appeal to your out and out lentil weavers and your lazy honest I am green because I put bottles in a bottle bank once in a blue moon types (as long as it doesn't cost them any more). The second type like the idea of "green" but do very lttle to contribute to this, if they can tell everyone their DC's nursery is green this will earn themselves those imaginery brownie points .

DS's nursery has rabbits and chickens (guess which child, aged 18 months at the time, was the first in the entire nursery to work out how to open the chicken run? I am not sure whether to be a proud mother and claim that makes him G&T or just be very very scared . The chicken run now has a padlock on it...)

If you could put it in or near the Golden Triangle in Norwich I think you'd have a real winner.

Katymac · 24/10/2006 13:21

Nope the first one will be in Felggburgh (however for expansion.....I could consider Norwich)

Looks like it won't be as green -ish as I'd hoped atm.....no log cabin - no grant for renewables

I take it you got planning permission????

no

Still a long way to go for that - we are at the what can I afford stage

The log Cabin cam in on budget (almost exactly) but costs another 60K to put it in place
