All the trees in the garden have survived. In fact the better half hasn't even started it up yet. It has been far to wet & windy for tree pruning.
Well all the things I said I was waiting for last time have happened, the roof is off the garage (it was asbestos, so disposed of safely)the highways man has been & sees no problems,we have had the quote from the builder, & a contractor has been to quote for digging the hole for the new septic tank & creating a car park. All very exciting & expensive. We have also had a kitchen design man in. This I am especially excited about. He is a really lovely guy & has come up with a great layout. I feel very privileged to have a bespoke kitchen, such a treat.
My aunt had an enjoyable stay & we managed to get her upstairs to see the layout. She is amazing,91 with perfect hearing & 20/20 vision. They left Monday pm & then we had to get the tarpaulins on the garage roof . I am not good up ladders & it was quite windy but we did it thanks to the better half being so good at these things. When the roof guys came back with the official receipt they were amazed that we had covered it & said many roofers weren't as quick as us. I could see a new career beckoning if it were not for my fear of heights!
In our previous life in London we both belonged to a gym. So when we moved I had no plan to join up here thinking there wouldn't be one near us. What a joy it was to see one on the edge of Bungay. so I have joined but not the better half as he is so busy & active outside. Yesterday was my induction, I was dreading it as I haven't been for three months but I really enjoyed it & shall try & go 3 times a week.
I suppose the most exciting thing that has happened this week is that we have a web page, though it is only a holding page at the moment. My cousin's son K is a graphics & web designer. So last week I rang him just to let him know that we were starting to think about advertising & marketing. Well before I know it we have purchased a domain name & then it turns out that he was coming up our way at the weekend to buy a puppy so could pop in & see the place to get a feel for it. So they turned up on Saturday, had some coffee, & he took away literature & photos. His kids were very good & patient as I don't think I would have wanted to detour for a couple of hours to talk to some old people about Dad's work if I was on my way to collect a puppy.
Anyway, Sunday evening with my Aunt & family here I get a text from K to say check my emails as he has done a preliminary design for cards & a web page. It is all looking fantastic & I am very impressed with him as it is all a different language to me.
Today I am paying a flying visit to London to do fittings. Going down lunchtime, fitting at teatime & straight back.
I am quite looking froward to 2hrs on the train to read my book & relax as I have always loved train travel.
So the rest of the week will be finishing the frocks & then if the weather is okay, H will come up & start sorting the garage out.
Suppose I had better go & find some smart clothes for London!
