Busy, busy, busy
Monday February 8th, 2010 | Fiona
Well, what a time we had since my last Blog update… more snow, problems with the drive, deliveries cancelled due to inability to deliver (because of the snow!), seven visitors for Martins birthday and poorly health for us all – oh and more building work! Norman had to visit the docs twice, Martin went too – I…

So much to do…!
Monday January 18th, 2010 | Fiona
So starting where I left off – I didn’t paint the walls I was papering on the twin and double rooms, as Norman had left quite early to return home and was due to arrive about 3 hours ahead of when I was anticipating. This was entirely due to the forecast for more snow on…

Happy New Year
Wednesday January 6th, 2010 | Fiona
Well, that’s another Christmas over and done with – sort of. Hubby’s kids are coming up with him tomorrow to have Christmas with us… at least that’s the plan. As they are down in Basingstoke, it might be a little difficult – depends on the thaw! I am giving them a shopping list for things that…

Suddenly along came another post!
Saturday December 26th, 2009 | Fiona
Just had to make sure that I got this down before forgetting. Saturday 19th was a really busy day for us. Not only were the previous owners coming to collect their stuff from our container, Norman’s brother and sister-in-law came for a visit too. All seemed to happen at the same time – which meant we…

Finally an update
Friday December 18th, 2009 | Fiona
Sorry to all those waiting for the latest instalment – we’ve been rather preoccupied the last few weeks. Norman was off for the 3 days mid-week that he usually heads south, so became a workman and instructor to Martin. I’ll start from where I left off… We spent a huge amount when we went shopping,…

Work progresses
Thursday November 26th, 2009 | Fiona
The work has been progressing, albeit at a seemingly slow pace this last week, but it does progress. The tiler had to delay by a day due to previous commitments overrunning, so we had a Monday without anyone onsite – weird but enjoyable! However, the chippy was onsite on Tuesday morning to finish some work, plus reverse the…

What a howling wind…
Sunday November 22nd, 2009 | Fiona
Well, one thing is for certain – I will not need to go to the coast to get the cobwebs blown away, we had them done here! This weather has been astonishing. Not only has it howled around the house and yard, but there have been times when it has been difficult to retain my…

So much dust!!!
Thursday November 19th, 2009 | Fiona
Well, we’ve had some fun the last couple of days. Norman came home and saw all the work that had been done in his 3 days absence… lots! It is amazing how quickly things all start to come together, especially after all the planning. They drilled the rest of the outside holes into the house…

House is a tip
Thursday November 12th, 2009 | Fiona
Well, it had to happen, but I have been amazed at how much mess builders can make… oh, they’re not exactly untidy, but with the sheets down to protect the carpets we are keeping, and all the paraphernalia they bring with them, they have rather taken over the place. Also, I have to clamber over a…

Yay – builders are here
Monday November 9th, 2009 | Fiona
Hard to believe that it’s over a week since I updated here, but at last I have scheduled time to sit down and update it… We have had a few events since my last update – we had some fun with the rain on Sunday 1st November – the word someone used on Twitter summed it…
