All Set Now

We have a nice big van waiting on the drive.  All the stuff loaded in there ready to leave at just 04:45 tomorrow morning.  Let's hope I haven't forgotten anything.  The drive down won't be as bad this time.  We WILL be leaving on time, and I managed to persuade the nice man at National in Slough to put Bill on the hire as a driver, without any extra charge!  So Bill can do some of the slog tomorrow......

The shower-room is nearly complete.  Tiling around the shower cubicle (which is currently in the van!) was being done today.  We have been promised pictures for some time now, but our builder's broadband always seems to be on the blink.  I have my camera with me, so will be able to publish on my return.

I estimate that I will be buying about 650 bottles of wine to bring back.  Whilst of course this is for my "personal consumption" my friends will also enjoy drinking Bordeaux wine in the months to come!

A bit of a Stutter.....

The building work is going well.  I hope to have some work in progress photos to post soon.  Unfortunately, the shower we had selected is no longer available.  The solution will now end up being better - we have bought one here, and I will take it over in the van in a couple of weeks' time.  This will only have a few days' delay on the completion, but the end result will be better, and in fact cheaper!  This is what it looks like (I don't think we'll have the goose there though!)

Swimming pool repair work has now finished, so this year the pool should hold its water much better.

Finally, we are collecting together all the stuff I need to take down: hopefully the van will be big enough!
