I was home alone, the sun had its hat on and was calling me out on an adventure. I could only adventure from my doorstop due to my car being poorly. My car broke down a few days ago when I was driving home after visiting my mum who is currently in a care home [...]

Fine Dining At Chez Nous
…From the new kitchen
Zingy salmon, cubed potatoes and green beans.
The dining room wasn’t quite empty enough (from boxed kitchen items) for us to dine in there. Maybe tomorrow…

New Kitchen 2 – Day Ten
Friday
Today we had a houseful of workmen; kitchen fitter, working surface fitters, electrician and plumber. At one stage there were five people working in our confined kitchen space.

Later in the morning I drove to Attingham Park for my usual Tuesday volunteering at Visitor Reception. The day was lovely and warm compared to the previous Tuesday afternoon and also the flooding had subsided. This led [...]

New Kitchen 2 – Day Six
Monday
Today was intended to be a later start which in the end turned out to be even later due to two road traffic accidents blocking the route. Now the larder units are in place around the fridge freezer with one of them fully fitted with draws.
Whilst all this was going on I was wresting with [...]
