House Progress April

The house is taking nice shape now. Rooms are formed on the inside, upstairs and windows fitted. Conservatory comes this week and that area will be plastered as well. There is still a lot left to do but we are on the home stretch (excuse the pun).

Snow in April - Brandon Mansions (our flat)

Welcome to the first days of the English spring! Tim and I woke up, prior to our 10 mile race along the Thames to find a neighbourhood of snow in London. The run was cold but very picturesque along the snowy banks of Chiswick and Kew.

House Progress March

This shows the extension starting. The ground floor extension will have a utility room, little toilet room (they call it a cloakroom, which I always thought was a closet to hold ones cloaks - should I be admitting this?), and a conservatory. It's still hard to imagine what it will look like when finished but very exciting to think about. Now, if we could just slow those cars down next to us (yes, it does sound busy - happy to have double glazed windows!).
