Not dead, just resting

Its been a rather strange year. Normally we have 2 or 3 house guests over the course of a year. This year we've had 8 so far. Rather than getting any DIY done we've been more of a B&B and tour guide.

No work on the dung heap to speak of. Just the usual small annoyances. Toilet flush mechanism had to be replaced. Some of the electrics have needed replacement. The washer breathed its last and has been replaced with a stacked pair of washer and dryer. The big upside to that is I'm no longer falling over laundry racks that SWMBO strategically placed throughout to ensure maximum trippage.

One thing we did manage to get done was the rearrangement of the celtic wall.

SWMBO has been slowly adding to it for the past 3 years and with the addition of the stained glass window it needed re-jigging. It also means she can keep adding to her collection without me having to take everything down and start over again.



Plans come. Plans go. Back to the drawing board. Then back to the previous plan. For now though its time to take stock. Save some money so we can do the bathroom / kitchen / dining room shuffle in one concentrated push. That's at least a year off. It also means losing the spare bedroom for a while so that will mean no more tourists after next summer until we get the rest of the great room shuffle completed.

In the meantime here are some garden pics.
