… and there is a tiny tree in the Lodge. With fairy lights. In our house we have brick dust and banter. The builders do stuff and we stay out of the way. It will be finished for Christmas. We keep the faith.
The Lodge is home at present to a couple who are between houses. Their old house is sold, the new house has no kitchen. The same builder is doing our kitchen and theirs – you couldn’t make this up.
Anyway, living in the Lodge seems to be going OK… When I put measuring spoons and electronic scales in the kitchenette I didn’t really think anyone would be doing actual baking while on holiday, but there is real cooking going on.
So our guests have become neighbours, too, and it’s been lovely. The same day laundry service we provide has been more like first thing tomorrow laundry (the builders keep turning the water off), but it’s good to know we’re helping fellow travellers on the journey to kitchen perfection!
