Wow, Marina that is great to be able to see the end in sight.  You won’t know your selves. The light wells are amazing for brightening up a dark space.

Very exciting Marina. You won't know what to do with yourselves.

Alll things being equal, occupancy should be 7 October!

We'll move in upstairs first, then move the workshop over after that, so we will all be back in by the end of October .... we have got more than twice the space that we had before but ... where am I going to put everything!  Until our architect stops popping by we will have to keep everything so very tidy!

Oh Chookie that is cold.

I've just popped back to this post to say the heavens have opened here. It is pouring. It will do the garden good as we are still not permitted to use our sprinklers and it has been dry for a while. The established plants seem ok but the basil I put in the other day has had to be hand watered.

Beautiful day following a very white frost. 
Bought 2 more of the Veggie boxes our local Green grocer is putting together. One for DD and one for us. $8.   Also bought some Seville Oranges to make Marmalade.

It has been a sunny day here today.I took DS grocery shopping. I came home with Spinach, tomatoes, courgettes, Basil, raspberries and 4 cucumbers all grown by DS. I gave 3 of the cucumbers away to neighbours who really love home grown produce.

CC, that is truly amazing.  There is also so much flavour in home grown produce as well as having a minimum of herbicides. Well done CC DS.
DD, is collecting Ral this morning and they are going to collect trout for the dam.  A Fathers Day present.
I will be cooking most of the day in preparation for Fathers Day tomorrow.

Trout are a lovely gift.
DH has requested pizza for his dinner tomorrow night. I’m happy to oblige. He likes Haigh’s chocolates and a large box arrived from them during the week for DD. We can’t buy them here so I guess it is gift for tomorrow.

Although sunny today it’s felt Autumnal walking Chance this morning. Spent a couple of hours in the garden whilst DH continued to cut our garden hedges.
