Clifford’s Tower, York

Friday, March 9th, 2007

It’s almost Spring, the days are warmer (not today!) and the 5kg bag of daffodils we planted in November are almost in bloom. I’ll post a picture here, when they are, but in York the daffodils are in bloom, he’s a picture I took yesterday.

Bathroom Decoration (After)

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

The bathroom decoration is almost finished and I must just mentioned 99.9% completed by Lindsey.

Bathroom 9
Look, my 0.1%, I’ve installed a new light fitting!

Bathroom 10

Bathroom 11

Bathroom 12

Bathroom 13
The original idea by me, was to sand the floorboards and wax, despite Lindsey disagreeing. After test sanding the floorboards (not an easy job), I noticed that there were large gaps in between each board, which would require filling with woodbeads and resin, and I’ve been told, I would need to rewax the floor every 12 months. So we’ve decided to floor with wood effect vinyl, after we’ve had a visit from the Bathroom Doctor to checkout whether the wash basin can be saved, we will decide on fitting the vinyl flooring.

Bathroom Decoration (Before)

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Lindsey started decorating the bathroom in November 2006, I just forgot to upload these pictures to the blog! She stripped the wallpaper, removed the fixtures and fittings. I helped remove the carpet in the bathroom, who has carpet in the bathroom! and with the electrics, removed a knackered fan heater from the wall.

Bathroom 1
Ceiling has been painted, covering the wood effect, with eggshell paint.

Bathroom 2
Note the original colour of the wooden unit under the wash basin!

Bathroom 3
Note the original colour of the wood panel on the airing cupboard.

Bathroom 4

Bathroom 5

Bathroom 6
It’s been painted green.

Bathroom 7
Umm, didn’t like the green, eh, It’s now been painted blue.

Bathroom 8
It’s now been re-painted another shade of blue!

Come home to a roaring fire … buy a cottage in Wales!

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

As once said by the Not The Nine O’Clock News Cast in the 80s. Not a laughing matter if you lived in Wales during that period of Holiday home burning!

Not in Wales, but here’s a picture of the open fire. It’s been getting colder this winter, so we’ve lit the fire on occasion.

A Fire

Lindsey has now started to decorate the bathroom, more photos later.
