I thought it would be timely to get a blog started on our proposed new build in north Dorset as I'm eagerly (driving me nuts) anticipating the decision on our planning permission which is due on Thursday. That said, it may well be a damp squib as little that comes out of North Dorset Council is on time, apart from the direct debit requests for council tax. So let's deal with the proposed name of the new build as here lies something I don't talk about too much in public. If you take a look at a map of north Dorset, you will see an area called the Blackmore Vale marked on it, so it would be natural to assume that's what we propose to name to the new house after, given that we aren't too imaginative about these things and that's where it's going to be. You would be wrong. OH has a deep and abiding love of heavy metal rock music and, as far as he's concerned, the house is named in tribute to his all-time rock guitar playing hero, Ritchie Blackmore. As far as I'm concerned, it's still the first explanation. Particularly since I told him that the doorbell would not blast out the riff from Smoke on the Water whenever anyone calls. Or any other riff/rock anthem/heavy rock associated musical theme that comes to mind. Have I mentioned that I'm looking into really good acoustic insulation around the house?
