Winter work

For the past few weeks now the weather has been very unsettled ... a lot of rain has fallen and there's  surface water lying in the fields.  So not gardening weather!

We therefore scratched our heads and wondered what to do with ourselves and decided that, after nearly 10 years it was time to redecorate the kitchen.  In the past we've moved house when it became time to redecorate.

The first job was to take down all of the eye-ball lights, clean them of years of fly-dirts and then paint around them before replacing them.

 

I must admit that I wasn't too enthusiastic at the thought of all of the covering up of the kitchen units and the tiled floors but fortunately we have a huge quantity of old sheets and duvet covers in the loft.

   We found some very good French paint that really did cover in one coat, although I was accused of trying to spread it too far and had to do a bit of rectification work (another coat in places!)  However, with me doing the rollering and Sue the cutting in we finished the job in 3 days.

We are very pleased that the weather forced us to do this but now, in the evenings we almost have to sit wearing sunglasses.!!
