Lovely doors

Really nice doors throughout....there are only 6 doors inside the house and that includes en suites to all three bedrooms.  We are doorless from the bedroom behind the dining room right through to the bedroom with the view.  Really pleased with these.  Tony has fitted them all plus one more on a cupboard n the master bedroom.

Out with the old and in with the new

We were actually beginning to get quite fond of the basic steps we bought about 3 years ago!  But now - Allenby's have made this beautiful staircase - Ian has been here for about 6 weeks and is nearly there now....A real work of art

Still calling it a snug!

 

Please someone come up with a word to call the room beyond the kitchen which is going to be a purely selfish area for just Gordy and I to relax in...The walls will be lined with books and we have just bought two incredible chairs - enormous "lose yourself in them" armchairs... Just can't bear the word snug - HELP!  I think that's what it's going to become if we are not very careful.

Getting there!

 

We still have electricians, a joiner, Allenbys who are making the stairs and good old Bob and Liam sorting out wonky guttering and pointing the south side of the building.  Bob turned up on Saturday to build the framework for a walk in cupboard in the master bathroom....The security system is now up and running - far too technical for me but I have an instruction book so will do some homework soon!  We now have a secure roof structure in the garage (and some light!) and the heating system is amazing....

Here comes the moon!

Amy, Eartha and Fellow visit

 Three lovely days with Amy, Eartha and Fellow.  The snow stayed until new years day.

Still carrying all the shopping up the hill!  No chance of getting the car up!
 Can you spot the moon above the trees?

Thanks for that Eartha!! 

 

Fellow is not impressed by the handstanding snowman!  He would rather go for a walk!

Denby finds a pheasant and a snowman

John and Margaret (and Denby too of course) were our first proper visitors.  They came for Sunday lunch and then John, Denby and I went for a walk and Denby did very well.... a pheasant and a snowman!
