Friday is here already and I haven't achieved at least half of the things on my list... BUT I will announce by photo...

.. its early days and so im saying nothing.....

In the meantime we had a wonderful visit to meet with John Greene the MD and owner of Border Oak last Tuesday.

We were really taken with this family run business and like the product very much.
here is an example of one of their houses and not a million miles from what we are looking for:

And we have already received a quote!!


They also use a company to make their kitchens called deVOL http://www.devolkitchens.co.uk/
a lovely quality product and I think I'm slow changing my style choice from quite modern and contemporary to this shaker style - which I have already but maybe its more timeless..?

And then there is one other small thing to announce: 

We have to live in a caravan on site for a number (???) of weeks! This is due to the logistics of making good the site for vehicle access and waiting for services to be on site (i.e. water and electric) I will not pretend to be happy about this BUT it is part of the process and frankly will only get better...(who am I trying to kid!!)

 Anyway I must to some positive stuff like .......packing!!??!!
