Just a quick note to wish all residents, readers and visitors to this blog a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Apologies for the lack of updates to any blog watchers, believe me, there’s a lot of catching up to do with our continuing tale of trials and tribulations at Oxley Park!
With all the other fiascos I forgot to mention that a short while ago the long-time empty house next door finally received its new occupants. We have next door neighbours!
Really nice to have a family move in next door, we don’t feel quite so much like the last outpost of Oxley Woods any more.

Well there’s been a lot going on lately that I’ve not been blogging about, purely because a lot of it was timing based.
Unfortunately, it appears that the wishes of over half of the residents here at Oxley Woods may have fallen on deaf ears. Hopefully this will not prove to be the case, but [...]
Been meaning to update the site more, but been busy. Bit like when Wood Newton and George Wimpey are supposed to carry out work on the houses in the neighbourhood.

About 3am or so my wife and I were rudely awakened by a huge noise outside the house, we had no idea what was going on, but it was like the builders were driving by in their [...]
Check your meters folks.
This week we had our first electricity bill from ScottishPower, and my God it was scary… Our quarterly bill was in excess of £600!! Now, due to our problems George Wimpey have offered to pay our bill, as they’re using a lot of power coming in and sorting out all the issues, but still, [...]
Although I’m not entirely sure where “there” is, but it’s nice to know we’re not alone in our situation, or at least some of it.
What the events of last week say about modern culture in the UK I have no idea, but I had a knock at the door from someone who lives just down [...]
Welcome to our new website. We’re a family of four who in the summer of 2008 moved into our new home, which just happens to be one of over 140 new eco homes to built by George Wimpey on their Oxley Woods sites, which is located in Oxley Park, Milton Keynes.
We’re starting this site/blog in [...]
