Hee hee..this picture never fails to make me laugh though I know I shouldn't! Here are my poor, neglected,bored children waiting for me to finish browsing (or should I say, drooling!) in a shop in Shaftesbury that sells mostly Green Gate. Just look at Tom's face - what a poor chap sitting amidst all that loveliness!
I hasten to add that no children were harmed in the taking of this photograph and very soon we were on our way to Granny & Poppa's where the above children were spoilt rotten. They stayed in Salisbury for 5 nights (the longest A & I have ever been without them!) and Anth and I went home via Bath to do the rest of the painting.
I will post my pictures later next week as I should be packing now to go to Ludlow for a few days. I have spent all day making curtains for the dining room.
You may have noticed that they are the same as our bedroom -- Laura Ashley were having a huge sale so they were the cheapest option (which appeases Anth somewhat..phew!).
Well, here are the painted floorboards -- a long time in the thinking, planning, sanding and painting. I think the house looks good, it has certainly 'opened up' the rooms; but time will tell I suppose as to whether this was a good idea. I'm not sure if I should paint the doors now! Gee it never stops!
Stop, I must. We will be back on Sunday or Monday and then I promise more posting, more frequently and fingers crossed for more treasures to share with you too.
