The end is in sight...



The builders have left the building....yes, you heard right, they've gone (at least for the time being).  Phase II is complete and I have my brand new, fabulous office, complete with whizzy wheely chair. I love it, love everything about it, love being in here, but most of all LOVE being surround by all my most prized possessions (possessions as opposed to human beans and dogs of course...!).  I am still moving things in, moving other things around, and planning blinds, curtains etc., but it really has been a long awaited dream to have a space like this, all of my own.  And the most marvellous thing, which I hadn't anticipated, is that because its over our garage, and looks out into the trees, it really does feel like being in a tree house.

The fabulous chair at the very messy desk....


Phase III was due to start on 1 July but we've delayed it until the start of next year, to give us some time to gather our strength, gird our loins and enjoy the house for a while.  It does, of course, also give me time to change my mind about a lot of things...over and over again...

When we moved here last year, in mid April, it had been an early spring.  So we missed all the spring flowers.  This year of course it has been very late - and all of a sudden Spring has sprung and I can see everywhere evidence of new life in the form of the most incredible display of wild flowers.  I  have decided to keep a visual diary of the garden, since its all so new to me, and I don't really know what might be here.  I also thought it might be good to refer back to each year.  This is a work in progress...


Bye for now,

Postscript:  I wrote this post just over a week ago, to date not a single photograph has been taken, and of course the spring flowers are now over...
