Welcome back, Ruth

Well I'm glad to see you back so quickly! I can't say why everyone else isn't posting (-; You say you even did a tutorial down in Wales - what can you do? In the immediate absence of people being able to get down to sunny (!) Kent, how about some pics of your new abode?

Incidentally, Ruth, you said that Eltham Palace was a favourite of yours - well when we were there a few weeks back, I picked up a leaflet for a Art Deco Fair this weekend. I thought you might be interested.

Where is everybody!?

I get back on line and everyone stops posting...was it something I said?

IKEA come to the housing market (2005)

Look on the bright side, Ruth (0; I found this little article about entire 'flat-pack' HOMES.

I dunno if they ever caught on, but they sure beat the 'ole concrete 'pre-fabs' built after WW2.

Back again!

Hello everybody peeps
We're back up and running now, Friday actually but we've been in darkest Wales with Andy and Sian. They should be posting soon as I have showed Andy what to do.
Well, the move went quite well but we are still surrounded by boxes in certain rooms not least of which are the bedrooms as we have no wardrobes!! We ordered some for George which arrived on Friday but we have yet to "un" flat-pack them............something to look forward to after work tomorrow!
Hope to hear from everyone soon and if you don't mind dodging boxes you are all very welcome to come and see us

Back again

Back again

Back from Kernow

We just had a great week away in Cornwall in an apartment near St Austell with Jenny, Caroline's mum. A very relaxing time was had by one and all, to the extent that the camera didn't come out too often. Despite the 'long-range' forecast being very pessimistic, the weather wasn't too bad, really. We managed to get to the beach most days and topped up the tan! We went up to the north coast to Wadebridge where the girls walked along the Camel Trail to Padstow.

I got this picture from the website of one of the cycle hire shops in the Wadebridge. While the rest of the party all set off on the 5 mile hike towards Padstow and pasties, I hired a bike and went in the opposite direction! The whole trail is around 17 miles so when I got up to the (newly extended) end ...

... I just turned around and went back to meet up with everyone back at 'Padstein' (as I believe it is now called after Rick Stein took over just about everything!). Of course, the car was still at Wadebridge so I cycled back to get it and pick up everyone else in Padstow. So I ended up doing the whole trail twice - oh well, that'll make up for mot commuting for a week!

Of course, Ruth should be in her new abode by now. Evidentally, they haven't got the 'ole internet fully functional yet, but I hope it all went OK.
