We went back up to the house on Tuesday, we were going for the record in travelling time but sadly there had been an accident on the M1 involving a lorry and a car which meant leaving a junction before we needed and a detour across country,my thoughts go out to all involved in the accident.
We arrived in sunshine despite it snowing through the night and at last was able to open the front door with ease. On Wednesday morning I thought a spot of cleaning was needed as the house has not been occupied for 2 years. I know we are going to be making a big dusty mess soon but looking out through clean windows and doors over the garden makes life a bit more bearable. I also cleaned the window and floor in the bedroom where we are camped out and managed to open the sash window and let some warm sun and fresh air come into the room.
The builder had arranged for a plumber and electrician to come for a preliminary visit, both are very nice, the plumber even made suggestions which we had never considered which means we can remove the water tank in our en suite and in the attic bathroom freeing up more space for the new layouts.
The electrician is going to install electrically wired smoke detectors and a burglar alarm too, they are all coming again next week to measure and then let us know the price.
The old owner came to collect his mail and showed me some of the plants in the garden we have a large bay tree, magnolia tree and somewhere a peach tree woo hoo it get's better and better.
