Hi Everyone, just a quickie from me at the end of another busy day. We have had new windows fitted, which meant every room upended, we've started painting the house, at least hubby has had his hands full, with me doing as much as I can. The kitchen is nice and fresh again.
Next is my craft room, BUT it means a good clear out before I begin, not only that, but the room is being reorganised with new placement of my desk and computer. At the moment I can only use my computer for part of the day, and it's going to get worse in the coming week or two.
Not only that, but we have to have a builder to renew a lintel, we don't know if he will have problems and the room will have walls down, even the window undone after it's new installation. The lintel was found rotten by the window installers. Things all happen at once, don't they? It's the flat window lintel that has to be replaced.
Anyhow, I promised you photos of our garden, which were taken last week. The lawn is brown due to no rain, I can't believe I just said that! I’m in Wales famous for its rainfall. hahaha. We did have some overnight, but certainly not enough. However, I'm loving the dry weather and the sun. It's supposed to be raining over the weekend, so perhaps the lawn will look green again?
Your Digitalis are looking good Faith, ours are slow and unless they get some rain not looking as thought they will offer their normal splendour.
ReplyDeleteAs you say things all come at once, a few weeks ago we had a leak under the kitchen sink, turned out to be more extensive and finding an available plumber was like seeing a Unicorn at the end of the garden. That sorted and we realised water had seeped under the floor tiles, another workman, pending for when he has a window in his busy schedule.
So all you say understood.

Wow your so busy Faith, love the new windows and I do hope the lintel change over will be an easy job, less mess is always great in my book. It must be good freshening the place up, I love it but it has not been as easy as it once was. I love your garden and yes, we are all getting brown lawns, but I can stand that for a nice sunny day, we have had the best Springtime ever I hear, hard to believe its not Summer yet. Take care Faith, enjoy the change. xx
ReplyDeleteLove the new windows and hope you get everything sorted soon-fabulous foxgloves-I used to have a little patch but they seem to have disappeared but the redhot pokers are in flower.

Your garden looks fabulous Faith!
ReplyDeleteYour windows look marvelous!
Hope you're all freshened up and fixed up in no time!
Your new windows look great Faith, but I’m sure that like me you hate all the disruption with all that is going on. It will be worth it in the end. Your garden looks beautiful xx
ReplyDeleteIt's a lot of work, but worth it in the end! Love all of your beautiful blooms!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is lovely Faith.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with proposed works and decorating.
Hate all the upheaval - but has to be done sometimes. xxx
Sorry to hear you are having home traumas. Even if work goes well, the process is traumatic. We are always putting things off because of that! Your garden is gorgeous. We finally had some rain last night too. I am so pleased as often rain that starts in the west fizzles out before it reaches us in the east. It definitely wasn't enough, but it was a start and I can tell that the garden plants are feeling better already. Hope you get a lovely clean and refreshed craft room soon xx
ReplyDeleteWow beautiful photos Faith
