Building our House
07/31/2020Ooh 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. Robbie is a nice guy we chose because of his experience in building bespoke properties that are energy efficient and look beautiful. After all, if you’re having a house built it should be nice to look at – nothing worse than an…
Blogs bah!
Oh dear. I forgot to renew the hosting or domain or whatever it’s called and my blog disappeared! I really wanted to carry on with it so I’ve had to redo everything. Luckily I had kept a copy of every…
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…
The electrics broke
Thank goodness for my mates at BestHorshamElectrician.com who saved my life when all the electrics went out. Why do these things always happen at the weekend? These guys came out really quickly and I agree – they are the Best…
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…
Back to Work
The holiday weekend hasn’t been a complete washout, until today. It’s just bucketing and looks like it’s not going to stop all day, so I’m back to Facebook, adding some new friends and catching up on messaging some new ones…
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
Well you guessed it, the picnic is postponed, if not all together cancelled. The day started out good with blue sky, but didn’t last so now its raining and there’s just no point going on a picnic in the rain.…
Starting the Journey
I’m nervous to start this new blog because it’s something I’ve never done before. Sure I’ve kept a diary but that’s kinda private and I never showed that to anyone. But a blog is out there for everyone to see.…
