Fairytale plans

It has been our dream for years now to renovate the barn on the farm to live there.  It's more than a dream, it's a plan.  The planning application has been in for 4 weeks now, and we have another 4 weeks left to wait till we hear if the planning officers and conservation officers agree to our design.

Although it's an actual proper plan, written on actual paper, with all the various structural reports, wildlife reports and whatever needed, at times, it seems so distant it's almost a fairytale. We had hoped to be well into the building process by now, but for various reasons, we have been hugely delayed.  

Each night before I go to sleep, I imagine walking around our barn.  I've been imagining it for so long, I can see every nook and cranny.
