Home sweet(?) Home

Well, we have started work on the house. ALL the rooms need to be stripped - these were some of lovely sites awaiting us when we first got the keys. The room with the tasteful orange and blue wallpaper will be my scraproom.

There are also some lovely features though - the cast iron fireplaces are stunning. The house is Edwardian, built in c. 1905. We are going to try to keep the decor in keeping and have already ordered a fab slipper bath, something I have always wanted.

We got the whole of the bedroom and bathroom stripped yesterday, but having come down with a horrid cold virus I wasn't up to anything today except resting and sleeping. Am off work tomorrow so hope I am feeling better.

Finally, a new place

We finally got the keys for the new house yesterday. It wasn't as much of a scene of devastation as I expected - actually, although it ALL needs stripping down, it is a lovely, lovely house. My scraproom is a lovely size and cosy as it is in the loft. Can't wait to get it done and move in.

I hope this will be our dream house and we will love it...

Snow everywhere!

We have about 6 inches of snow here in Malvern, Leo wasn't sure at first but seems to love it!

Not seen so much snow for some time. Had a very long walk home tonight as nothing could get up the hills here! Took about 40 mins but Gus came to meet me, bless him, so didn't have to walk on my own for most of the way.

Malvern looks stunning in all the snow, such a beautiful place, am glad we moved here.
