Getting cooler

The temperature is starting to drop, (although we did eat dinner outside today as the days are still quite sunny) so we have had the fire lit a couple of evenings just to take off the late evening chill. I’d forgotten how much this house absorbs heat from the fire, I guess it’s because of all the stone, it acts like a slow release radiator the next day.

Here’s a pic of our fireplace.

New office

I have a few ‘irons’ starting to simmer at the moment business wise so thought I’d post a picture of the ‘office’.

Note it’s light and airy-ness, the extensive river views and, of course, the designer furniture. Who needs to work in a cubicle when your office can be wherever you like. Next I might try and work from on a boat going up the river, just to see how far the free wi-fi reaches….

Brownie

Katherine has joined the Brownies! I thought it would mean a serious stack of chocolate cakes but I got that wrong

She is loving it and has been on her first Brownie gathering when a lot of the local groups got together one Sunday for a day of craft/making.

I wonder if they can teach her not to pull faces when having her picture taken….

New floor pics

The floor has all been completed (and so has Katherine’s bedroom, those joists had gone as well). The good thing is we now know exactly what is under our floors and that they are are now built properly. The original floor design is great, what caused the problems was some pleb deciding about 15 years ago to get rid of a load of soil and rubble by filling up between the joists!
