Christopher Robin’s house

Delightful Cotchford Farm enjoys
Delightful Cotchford Farm enjoys a fascinating provenance with both literary and musical connections. In 1925, the house was bought by the renowned author, dramatist and poet A.A Milne as a country retreat for himself, his wife and son, Christopher Robin. It was here, amidst the beautiful Sussex countryside and surrounding woodland where the wonderful stories of Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh came to life, now world famous childhood classics.

The local area is now commonly referred to as \’Pooh Country\’ and places in the books such as the 500 acre wood, Galleons Lap, Poohsticks bridge and Pooh Corner are all based on nearby locations, where Christopher Robin used to visit with his bear \’Winnie The Pooh’.

Green houses in Oldham

Contour Housing are going to be building some passivhaus houses in Oldham – Contour Homes is developing 93 new homes on the 2.2 hectare flagship site and four homes will be built to the ‘Code for Sustainable Homes Level 6’, the highest level of sustainable construction which offers many benefits to residents and the environment.
The two Passivhauses are being built alongside four Code 6 carbon-free homes, all set to be complete by the end of 2012.

It says just FOUR homes will be built to the level 6 standard and just 2 passivhaus.
It is good that they are building some to this standard though and maybe in future developments they will all meet these higher standards.

It’ll be interesting to see what people think about living in them!
