It's snowing!

Well, lots has happened since the last post.
We've had our masterplan completed for Calverley Grounds, and decided which option to go for. I've decided that the Ecological plan, with the natural swimming ponds, will be my choice. Have read Michael Littlewood's book on swimming pools which was very interesting.
We are now looking at a smaller area at 1:200 scale. You suddenly realise there's an awful lot of gaps! Having to do lots of thinking to fill the space and decide on how to compose the area of trees. At the moment I've got several ideas and am playing around on tracing paper, but nothing definite yet.
Didn't get to college today because of the weather but at least it gave us some more time to work on the sections. We've also got to compose a vision statement and a brief, which is quite tricky. think that will keep me busy for some time. Thank goodness we don't have to go to college any more this week as the weather forecast is bad. Think our visit on Thursday to Sutcliffe Park will be cancelled as all we'll see is snow!
