Slightly more privacy

Got fed up of being on display whilst in the bathroom so made my own blind! Enjoying the privacy and thinking of patenting my design.

Overgrown garden

Had a go today at starting to tame the Garden. As you can see, it is still winning.

Sunset

Sunset view from the window seat.

Shiny wooden floorboards

Spent today sanding and varnishing the floorboards on the first floor and they are looking lovely.  Met the neighbours who are really friendly and no sign of any flies today!

End of day one

Just finished cleaning house and it's much nicer now. Even the cute little stairs aren't such a problem getting things up and down as I thought it might be. Completed shattered though and as expected I can't get the telly working. Early night I think.

Flies everywhere

Arrived about two hours ago and cottage is lovely but very dirty and full of flies around the windows. Have zapped hundreds with Henry and hope they can't escape. Went to the local shop and the lady said it is normal for the time of year in the country, particularly near horses.  Not sure if I will take to country living and Henry can't wait to go home. I can't wait to have a bath but at the moment it's filled with dead spiders.

It's all ours!

Just heard from the Solicitor and I can collect the keys first thing
tomorrow morning. Can't wait!
