Happy New Year

We hope that you have all survived 'enjoying' the festivities! Our full programme was slightly reduced because of weather and illness, but, none the less, we have had a good time. The weather for the start of the New Year has been cold but lovely and sunny. As you can see we got warm walking up to the top of the hill.

It has been so nice to have the chance to be out in the sun in the middle of winter!

Today, the 3rd, we're proceeding slowly across the floor of the kitchen and dining room. Sue began to grout the joints but she had to stop as she now seems to have my cold. She kept having to stop to blow her nose so often that she decided to just be ill and carry on with the grouting another day!

Because of the cold, (well, it is winter!) we now want to get the floor done as quickly as possible because we can only have the underfloor heating on low until we've laid all of the tiles!! It's not too bad during the middle of the day, but it starts to get cold by tea time. And with -4 degrees in the morning you can't sit around too long.
