It doesn’t look much, I grant you – but this will be my cheese room.

I’ve just had a meeting with my local EHO (Environmental Health Officer) and, in principle, he has approved the space.

It’s currently part of our house (and used to be a nursery school) – but I’ve cleared it (and cleaned it thoroughly in advance of the EHO visit), except for the table and chairs and the wine cooler that I currently conduct my cheese experiments in.

A lot of building work to come. The lino will have to be replaced, food-grade panelling on the walls, etc. etc.

What have I let myself in for?

The entrance will do, I suppose…

This will become the maturing room, cutting out the only Southern light…

Shelves, radiators, etc. all must go.

I think I need a drink to think things over and contemplate my new domain.
