There have been happenings this week. A visit from the architect to consolidate plans. The arrival in the post of the first quotes for work to be done.
We decided on Thursday to invest in a small wood burning stove for the dining room. We will have to have the chimney swept (organised for Monday) and for a metal liner for the chimney which will be done when the roofer is up there working.
In the meantime we are using the fire and a different kind of warmth is slowly permeating the house. What a difference.
We have also painted the walls in both the dining room and the hallway. Just with white paint for the moment to make everything look cleaner and brighter. A definite improvemen, be it only temporary. Plain brilliant white is far too bright for this house.
