Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Saturday. A clear sky this morning. 11°C, almost springlike! The farmers market for me this morning then! No 6 Nations today, so I might have lunch out.

Tiggy III still asleep, but he has moved a bit. He'll be waking up soon, so I must make sure I've got some pancetta in.

Have a happy day everyone.

You like your spookies minty! :o}

Ever eaten at the Peat Inn, minty...1* Michelin - not cheap but has always been good - the other that is back and storming Trip Adviser is the Grange just outside St A and lovely views...used to have 3 bedrooms but I don't think they are doing accommodation now.

[waterboatman]

Heavy belligerent looking clouds now. Might change my plan.

[DTCwordfan]

Right, things to be done and they aren't going to be done sitting here. Trurra here I come.

Have a good one, all.

[waterboatman]

Have a good'un DT.

Just an update on the shiny, shiny (sorry Minty) kitchen - which should be completely finished early next week. Now all I need to do is rummage through the house to find the recipe book on how to make beans on toast. :-)

[waterboatman]

That's a difficult recipe arrods. :o}

[waterboatman]

Try putting a poached egg on top of the beans.

Morning all. What a lovely day. I have fresh coffee, a cinnamon swirl, good company and nice background music. What more could you want on a Saturday morning?

Architect came yesterday and his ideas were fantastic. We should have all the plans drawn up within the coming fortnight. Exciting!

[murraymints]

morning CG xx sounds very exciting, a great start to your new home and life together.... will all come together eventually... worth the upheaval ..and cost to get things just so...

[LadyCG]

Indeed, Minty. We were undecided re kitchen extension whether to go for flat roof with lantern or pitched roof with velux windows. The Architect pointed out the merits and demerits of both, particularly with a south-facing garden like ours.

I can't wait to get started.

[murraymints]

south garden is great..like mine..I'd do pitch with velux..flat roofs can be quite problematic...here anyway..heavy snow and puddling water etc

if budget allows these are great doors onto a garden..especially south facing..

[LadyCG]

Yes, that's what we're going with. It also makes the room look larger and distributes the light all around the room. Lanterns look striking but the back of the room wouldn't get the light.

I spent hours going through Wayfair last night until I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. I've seen some beautiful lighting.

How was your night away for Valentine's?

[murraymints]

it was lovely ta, superb meal, lovely ambience...great company....

[LadyCG]

Minty, you must have read my mind. We are going for bi-fold doors which will open onto a nice patio area.

I'm glad you enjoyed your night away. I'm still chuffed with my red roses. So romantic! I don't know what came over him.
