Progress, inside and out

The terrace is now finished and the soil is almost ready for turf. The garage now has doors as has the upstairs gym (not shown) although the windows aren't yet finished. Peter has planted the small formal garden using box plants that were already in the garden and using as a centrepiece a stone 'leaf', once a waterfall (defunct) in the old pond and will now revert to its original purpose--a bird bath. Meanwhile Jon and I continue to hang our pictures. We've finished the ground floor and the staicase and are on to the gallery and bedrooms.

There's still an awful long way to go.

An 'upstairs gym'eh? And was that a staircase leading down to a basement (or should I call it a crypt)?
You know, this place looks big enough to be hosting writing weekends... Expect I'm not the only one who'd love to come! You could charge us proper hotel prices with a gaff like that. And then there's that lovely tea shop you mentioned...
How about it, Sally?

The thought had crossed my mind. Watch this space...

Count me in, if you do!

Be careful, I might sign up too.

I want your staircase.

Hi Sally, Oh wow! Your house has certainly become a home and what a wonderful home too.

I wish you much peace and happiness there...

Best wishes
