We woke this morning to only half power so no heaters and some lighting didn't work. By 9am it was all off.
Chilly outside but the snow was melting quickly.
Managed to get boiling water going on the multi burner.
Although it was a pain with no power it was much better than last time!!
Hopefully Bruce and Jim will be able to get here tomorrow.
The power came back on mid afternoon so Jill did some touch up painting.
Rob had an appointment this morning so we popped out then but the weather has got pretty bad this evening. This is the front door!
Geri ventured into the lounge to enjoy it
It's supposed to calm down at 3am and start raining but for now it's 70 plus mile an hour out there so the snow is having a field day!
Stay warm everyone!
Obviously no builders today so another day off for Jill. YAY! We had a lye in and then had a well earned trip out. The weather was actually pretty nice but we decided just to stay local. There wasn't much about but we had quite a few hares, watched distant otters playing for a while and found a surfer. Bit chilly for that, but he was doing well.
There were also some chilly looking Shetland Ponies.
Then it was back home for some more overeating!
The weather was actually quite nice today.
We had a lovely lunch and sat and watched TV and opened our amazing pressies. Highly recommend the Unusual Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. Statutory overeating day. Jill is trying to work out who knows fruit and nut is her favourite.
Hope everyone had a super day.
It's not such a great world at the moment, but we hope you enjoy your Christmas and have a good time with family and friends.
Jill put the final coat on the big drop on the stairs today. Very pleased with how it looks.
Most of the white stuff is gone today but it's very chilly.
Jim popped along for a few hours and very kindly put a door stop round the door into the old kitchen to keep out some of the cold. He also sealed up the gap around the temporary front door. Feels better!.
Geri is definately doing well. She plays for hours and is starting to get braver.
Smattering of the white stuff this morning. We gave ourselves plenty if time for Robs hospital appointment this morning. It still took us an hour and 20 minutes. Once past Bixter the snow was worse and still snowing. We did see a rainbow cloud too.
We managed to get back safely.
Bruce had finished up for the day but he's done grand job putting more floor boards down.
Bentley and Geri are getting on well.
It's been a bit quieter as we wind down after a really successful year. Over 500 guests and we are still on 9.3 on booking.com! We have...
