Back to it!

The gales have blown, the rain has rained and Christmas has been and gone. Now the builders are back to it on the roof........and we still haven't quite moved out!

How can one family amass so much 'stuff'. I guess that there are five of us here and rather too many animals. Life always seems too hectic with Tea & Roses and the farm, to really get to grips with sorting 'stuff ' that we gather. So over Christmas I've been going through long forgotten cupboards and drawers that have contained the most delightful old photographs of the children and trinkets kept for, 'just in case'.

The roof is coming along well. The tiles are now going back on around the front and some new tiles are being blended in with all the old, where we have lost some due to breakages. The roofing work does knock through quite a lot of grit into the house, as there are years worth of grit up there! A fine layer of dust covers the beds at night and a few nails appear through the ceiling. Can't wait to be out.

We took advantage of the fine weather today and took a view of the farm from the scaffolding. The children enjoyed peaking in the upstairs windows and seeing the roof closely. They also enjoyed getting their sister out of bed by knocking on her bedroom window and then watched her climb out to join us! 

We do plan to move out by next weekend....so lots of work to do this coming week.

Wake Up!
