Other house stuff - fun things

Some of the other things we have managed to do / get.

My sister plays piano. She has been looking for one for years. She was given this little beauty. How lucky is she!



I have been getting immense pleasure from starting to sort out our garden. We have managed to clear the front and started to plan the layout. We have a lot of Yorkshire stone in our back garden that we will want to move into the front to create some raised beds with, trouble is, it's heavy stuff so will take a little while to shift.
In the meantime we have picked up some plants and put them in to brighten the place up. We have Crocosmia, Lychnias (Campion), French Lavendar, A blue Veronica, Budljea 'Black Knight', Astilbe, Fern, some Euonymous and a lovely big Echinacea.

We have been working on the new house

Lots of stuff done now but nothing really cosmetic, so nothing nice to see. Hence the lack of blogging.
First job was getting in Brick Tie to do the preservation work, add a damp proof course and replace a couple of rotten joints, 2nd off was getting the roof sorted out. After that we got the electrician in to rewire the whole place and this week we got in the plumber to fit central heating and a new boiler. Still left to do is refit the kitchen and bathroom with power shower, but for now, as it is, it is livable.
Here are the more recent pictures of the place. You can see the rads are in but we will still need to tidy up some of some of the walls where the elecdtrics have been sunk in.
You may notice though that the walls and woodwork have been given a cover of white / barley white, just to freshen up the place.
