One week and two days to go ...will we be ready!

Yikes.....our penultimate weekend in London...and this time I don't think we will be back. Yes we escaped once before in Feb 1995 for two years to Oxfordshire but were back at the end of 96 before moving to this house in 97....but that time we still had all our friends in London and this time all our oldest friends have moved on and those that we have met since Nelly will come and stay!

.. So we move on Nov 13th, think we may check into a hotel for a night or two! and then move in with the builders! The main bedrooms that we will use are fine and the bathrooms should be finished as should the kitchen! .....crossing all fingers! but we have heating and all lovely new radiators in place too....

We were up at the house again yesterday and N and I went along to a playgroup in the village hall - met some local people and N bounced in the castle for a while! and made some big boy friends - well she is so used to being friends with boys that she is a right little tomboy!

A few more random photos - Nelly and I have just watched Strictly, watched the fireworks from the top of the house and now off to have a bath before bed...

Tiles in thekitchen are going down this week....

Shower in the annexe! hardly finished yet but it will be!

Our bedroom - with the new oak flooring down ...well think we can sleep in this one!

Our fab new bath - it is huge and very deep Starck bath!
Nelly's room new sash window - looking slightly like a prison cell with the masking tape on the window panes


R and N in the kitchen - it is amazing what a lick of Brilliant White can do for a place!
