    Building our House

    Ooh so excited to be back. Nothing happens for ages, then along comes Covid19 (snappy name eh?), only 3 months after we decided to have a house built in Horsham. Wow – how exciting. So our house builder is a local guy who does a great job of project the whole thing so there’s no worry for us.

    The Trees

    I’ve spent the day watching tree felling over at the park with some hunky tree surgeons from Horsham. It’s so sad to see three beautiful trees (oaks I think but I’m no expert), being chopped down. Well strictly speaking I…

    Getting the carpets cleaned

    I’ve got to get someone in to do some carpet cleaning now that spring is approaching. I’ve noticed when the sun shines in the room that the carpets look dreadful. All those little stains show up – and I’ve spilt…

    Enjoying Brighton

    I’m so enjoying being back in Brighton again though the weather isn’t so brilliant when it’s blowing a gale off the sea. I’ve decided that this year I’m really going to get down to making some jewellery, because of course…

    Jewellery making

    I may have mentioned that I was doing a jewellery course in September. Well here we are in November (mid) and I don’t think I’ve written anything about it yet. In fact I’m not sure I’ve written anything in the…

    Tea party

    Thank goodness my other two chairs finally arrived. I’m really pleased with the whole look and I’ve been shopping. I bought a lovely purple runner for the table and black table mats and mauve napkins. It looks stunning so I…

    Flatpack Furniture

    There’s been a bit of a saga around my new dining table and chairs. I wanted a glass table and some nice chairs to complement my purple-accented living room. It’s not massive so I thought a glass top would be…

    The picnic is on

    We’re going down to the beach and taking a picnic. At last a real holiday activity. Sandy said we should take the opportunity before the hoards arrive at Bournemouth, but we’re probably too late since it’s Bank Holiday weekend. But…

    The non-picnic
