• Gruyère from Switzerland with butter and toasted nuts. So easy to eat more and more.
• Roquefort, the famous sheep’s milk cheese in the town of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon must lead the game of best blue. Creamy, feral but with good acidity and a long lingering finish.

• Domain Roland Lavantureux Chablis AOC 2019
Green apple and lemon with crisp acidity
• Domain Jacqueson 1er Cru 2019 a Pinot Noir from the Bourgogne appellation of

Council consented, architecturally designed house plans

Neville from Dairy Flat - Redvale

I have fully drawn up and consented house plans, but have decided not to proceed with the build. It would be a shame for this to go to waste and so I was wondering if there would be anyone out there interested in them?

It would be a shame for this to go to waste and so I was wondering if there would be anyone out there interested in them? This is for a 3 bed, 2.5 bathroom home with pavilion style living area, logia, separate master and guest wings, 3 garages and work shop. Would suit flat to slightly sloping land. The architects are willing to make modifications to the plans if required. 3-D modelling photos of the house attached. It took 13 months to have all this drawn up at some expense. Could save someone a lot of time and money. Contact Neville 0272088912
