Gosh, today we welcomed our fourth guests, so I think we should just stop counting and get on with it. We have three lovely entries in the guest book (the lemon cake seems to go down really well!) and a booking for next April, so we must be doing something right.
I’ve been remiss in bringing the news – I’ve been stripping the old (very old) ghastly wallpaper, filling the big (very big) holes and painting the uneven (very uneven) walls.
We are getting ready for the builders. Our kitchen is a shambles. It seems we need a new doorway and door because the old one is holding the house up without a lintel…
It transpires we also need a new window – the one over the sink is ten centimetres too low. Whoever put the last kitchen in cut the legs off the units to make them fit under the window, so the new units won’t fit!! Don’t ask why I hadn’t clocked that (we have been here for three years, after all). The budget has gone out of the window, but I’ll just keep saying “it will be lovely when it’s finished”. The builders say it will be finished in time for Christmas. Watch this space.
