A short break

-
I am just going to take a short break from blogging, nor for serious purposes, not to write a novel or go on a mature gap year to South East Asia, not even to devote my undivided attention to my family and friends.  I just feel like lying back into my life like flinging yourself into long grass and looking up at the sky.  I shall just have a few days off to float and be, without a word written or a photo taken!

Resurrecting the garden blog

-

I have spent a bit of time looking at the side garden and musing about what has worked, what hasn't and what progress I have made here.  It is a garden which I began in the spring of 2009.  The blog ended up as such a lot of pictures and writing that I have gone back to using a blog which I set up in 2009 to keep track of what I was doing.   Keeping Track of the Garden is here if you want a look! I have changed back to the old template by the way as so many people again had a problem with Dynamic Views.  Hope that's easier!

And on we go

 So much more to show you on the house.  Loving the cladding and the contrast with the render and now that the scaffolding has come down it is possible to see the design of the house more clearly. Loving the tiled floor downstairs and the colour of the kitchen and dining room. Loving the front door and the gorgeous curve in the hall. Loving the internal doors and the handles. Loving the wood flooring upstairs Loving the bathroom tiles,  These are in the en suite bathroom.   It looks nearly done in these photos and in truth there is still a lot to do.  We have no stairs yet so going up the ladder has become almost, but not quite, commonplace.  We have no water although that is coming soon.  There is much to do in the bathrooms, second fix electrics and lots and lots outside.

And outside is still a building site.  But the

 A year - a long time and no time at all.  This last strange year has often felt stalled, coming round again and again, living in the groundhog day of lockdowns and restrictions but when I lift my head and really look at it I can see what a lot has changed and how far we have come. This time last year we were living in our old house on the hill, waiting to exchange contracts on our sale, surrounded with boxes of books and china. And exactly a year ago today it had snowed.  We walked up to the top of the hills and tried out our snow shoes and were amazed by how beautiful the white world was. And then in February we moved.  It was sort of a wrench to leave the lovely old house and it sort of wasn't.  The fact that the new house was beginning to emerge from the mudbath of the building plot was so interesting and so exciting that it felt right.  It felt time to move on and shape the new stage of life and we knew that in our old house's new owner, we were leaving it in good hands.
