We're Here!

We've now been here for a few days, working hard.  The pergola is up, and the cane shade cover is securely fastened.  Photos of work in progress and the completed works will be posted on our return.

Planting is also now complete, with the whole of the bed along that side of the house now finished - looking good!  I've fixed a hose up along the back of the house from the tap so that the new bed can be watered, but we're having to work out what to do with the high water pressure.

New curtains have been put up in two of the bedrooms, with one more to go, and cushions have been attached to the benches in the dining room.

There is more work to be done, some of which we will be able to complete, and some we won't.  One big piece of work is laying the slabs under the pergola.  That would be a big job for relatively inexperienced people like Bill and me, so we will get Chris our builder to do that when he renders the walls in the utility room.

It does seem like Pip and I will have to come out here for a weekend next month......
