28 July <\/span><\/p>\n

Where has the time gone?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Well here we are two years on from that stressful day that started another chapter in our lives. I still shudder at the thought of the sheer volume of stuff (possessions) crammed into the removal vans, car and follow on van. We still have some boxes unpacked and I\u2019m still looking for bits and bobs that I\u2019m sure I packed up. But after all my searching, I still haven\u2019t found my socket set that I bought when I had a Hillman Imp back when I was 16! I’ve had to resort to a \u00a36.50 one from B&M to sort out a puncture on my trailer. <\/p>\n

I look back at the photos I took when we moved in and feel very pleased with the results we\u2019ve made. June with the ideas and me with the skills and grunt (lots of that at times). There\u2019s still a bit to go with decorating an a new bathroom to install. The recent fine weather has enabled us to get on with outdoor projects, especially around the side of the garage where the overgrown shrubbery, unsightly gas tank and inherited clutter resided. The plum and apple trees, which were scabby, came down in the first winter and have been dug up and the ground de-rooted, as some roots reached 15 feet out from the rootball. With the greenhouse finally erected and planted with tomatoes and courgettes, salad growing hydroponically, the outside planters full of potted on plants for next year, it\u2019s all starting to come together. <\/span><\/p>\n

So what next? Well, there\u2019s still the rear of the chalet to gravel over after cutting into the sewage for the chalet toilet and a rainwater drain pipe to lay. I’ll add a gate to close the gap between the chalet side and sitting room outside wall for extra security. And the extra piece of fence to put up next to the gas tank to hide all the necessary, but unsightly, (sorted) garden clutter.  <\/span>Then it’s back inside with brush, roller and masking tape to cover all the shoddy workmanship of the previous owner. So here we go with some before and after pictures – enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
