Guitar Legend in the making

It is always said that the younger you start a musical intrument, the better you will be, so I wonder how this will end up...

Mother's Day

Yesterday was Mother's Day, and we went down to Seascale to spend it with my parents. I managed to arrange surprise cakes for both Chrissy on behalf of the kids, and my mum. I agreed with Chrissy's suggestion that we make my mother a cake, then told mum that we would bring dessert as the children were making a cake for their mum. It worked out very well, and should have given everyone their fill of chocolate for the month

It's been a while.....

But since I have a few minutes, it's time for another update.

Work on the house has been going very quickly, by our standards, and at the same time, seeming to take for ever, but we are getting there. The lounge is almost finished, just needing touchups on paint/varnish, and one more bookcase to go up on the wall, and the dining room end is coming on as well. One wall and the archway are finished, with the stair alcove and most of the next wall just needing a final coat of paint. That just leaves the window wall and corner, so hopefully it will be done by the end of March.

That's an "as was" photo - an "is now" will be along soon...


The children have been getting in on the act too. We gave them to job of painting under the stairs, and they had great fun....
