There's a(nother) hole in my roof!

(two weeks ago)

Well, the roofers have now started on the kitchen roof as well. The old roof was as bad as we had feared, but we'll do the details another time. For now, heres a pic of the roofers putting the new roof on,


and here's a pic of what happened when the roofers found out the hardway how weak the old roof was.....


One of the roofers put his foot on the wrong bit, and fell most of the way through, catching himself by his elbows! He wasn't hurt, just surprised and embarrassed! This photo was taken after the new roof and insulation had been put on, but shows what happened to the inside of the roof.

Feeding the ducks

Las weekend we went to Keswick for the day with Kay. We had a picnic by the lake and a walk in the woods, as well as a bit of shopping and getting Chrissy's laptop back from being repaired.
Here's a quick pick of the children feeding the ducks with the last of their sandwiches.

A new coat of paint

Good Morning everyone. It's been a while since I got around to putting anything up here, but it's not as bad as the old website was yet, I hope.

We have been very busy with the house renovations recently. Most of the major work is done, and we are now getting the outside of the house painted. Here's a few pics of how it's been coming along over the last week.



An this (below) is how it looks this morning. We've stalled a bit, as we have run out of green paint and the paint-mixer at the place we got it from is broken. We hope to get more paint this week coming at some point, so the painter can finish it off.
