Showing it as it is!
To mark the beginning of a New Year, I have taken two pictures, looking at either end of the church, and showing how we live now. I’m really hoping that these views will change dramatically over the next 12 months. I will take two more pictures in Jan 2014 and we can play ‘spot the difference’! Before we get to…

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
We are just about all set for Christmas, with our ‘Christmas Area’ cleared and arranged. The tree is not quite as majestic as we’ve had in the past, but it is still rather nice in it’s own humble way. It is nice having a ‘real’ tree as they are always so different from year to year. At least with a…

Lime Wash… Round 2
We have taken down the scaffold tower that has been in the corner of the gallery (our future bedroom) for the last year. Can now have a good view of a little finished corner of the house. Can also have a good view of my first attempt at lime washing. Generally I’m really pleased with the lime wash. I’m mixing…
