Pretty please???

So... Finally had a reply to dh's latest email saying that they believe they have found a field! (I'm waiting for it to be forwarded to me so I can dissect the wording) it's from reasonable lady.

It's paraphrased as "if we move sooner can we not put up the electric fencing?"

Dh is asking for confirmation of how soon soon is.

It's apologetic and understanding that we are angry. This is good. It makes us look like our fake backbones are working.

It asks permission for others to come and help removing the horses (which is a first - actual recognition that it's our space!)

I'm optimistic. I've actually just done a little optimistic dance.

Maybe I shouldn't read the email. It might de-optimise me.

I think making this place an uncomfortable space for them has worked!

I'm not holding my breath just yet, but I am breathing a little shallower in preparation for the breath holding.

And I think the quink was instead of woad... Stick it under Misc?

Sorry! Had to write the sodding thing.

Baroness that might make it entertainment, you have a point.

A thought-do you think reasonable woman is on MN? Maybe she has been frightened by our festival talk.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 14:00

Angela, I very much doubt it. If she is I hope she knows that I think she's been a force for good :)

I think she'd probably enjoy FyFest (oh yes)

Don't ûnderstand, if they are moving sooner, why the need for electric fencing? I may have missed something (quite likely, only been catching up between cleaning up DSs vomit this weekend [boak] Envy)

IceBeing · 27/01/2014 14:25

FANTASTIC.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 14:26

Sorry, I'm probably being unclear. We asked they they put electric fencing up so we could use our land between now and the end of march. We asked for this to be done by the end of next weekend. They're now saying they've found a field to move sooner than the end of march, and if it's not long after the 2nd of feb elec fence deadline, could they not do the fencing.

Does that make sense?

So I'm happy with no fencing and moving sooner, rather than fencing and moving later.

Ice being :) I've now read the full email and I think it's very positive and they clearly think we have good sturdy backbones. This is good.

Hopefully it was pointing out a few home truths that made them realise (or at least, nice woman realise) that YNBU to want your own land to use for what you want to use it for - not their horses!

I think that the electric fence was to portion off the field so that FYC could access some of the land herself without danger to herself, her children, or her puppy - so it was only temporarily needed until the horses got moved anyway.

mistlethrush · 27/01/2014 14:30

x post.

Very pleased to hear that!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 14:32

Fantastic!!! Super super news.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 14:36

Thanks Mckayz.

Now we just need a date!

GlaikitFizzog · 27/01/2014 14:38

Ah I missed the leccy fence deadline. We need one of those timelines like they use on CSI to keep up.

Very positive, but tell them leccy fence deadline still stands. We shall not we shall not be moved!

olympicsrock · 27/01/2014 14:38

Yay that's great news. WELL DONE !

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 27/01/2014 14:40

Glaik, we need wing defence to organise my plans!

Olympic :) it was all dh really. He has a fine backbone :)

OP posts:
WingDefence · 27/01/2014 14:41

And will they take both horses or just your own?

What a fab day :)

WingDefence · 27/01/2014 14:42

Ahem. You do not need organising! :)

FairPhyllis · 27/01/2014 14:45

That's brilliant. I'm going to steal your strategy of pretending I have a backbone when I really don't have one at all!
