Old Stratford ..... 09.11.13 ..... Settling In


Am obviously addicted to diaries ......................

Have decided to keep the blog going but not on as daily a basis since most of the views would be the same !! ( Margaret I do listen !!! ) Am going to put in the quirky things that seem to happen during one's wanderings and which I have always meant to jot down.  Since I have got into the early evening routine of this ............. why not keep it going ?

Both of us have enjoyed the differences between living on a boat and in a house.  At present it still feels as if we are playing at being house-bound.  One of the most striking differences is the lack of early morning ducks or Canada Geese !! or trains ... or traffic ... or joggers ... or the boatscraping against something when someone goes by too fast at 7.00 ....   
We went and picked up the Victorian bed from Wolseley Bridge and Maggie has been busy taking off the rust and painting it.
 

........................... had to put a tarp over it while the four bits are put into the sitting room



........................... think it will look good ??

The next section will be the shelf building for which we have bought some glass tiles and scaffolding from a reclamation yard.  More of that later !! Next Monday down to Hastings area to buy a chest of drawers....... actually next week is quite interesting !!!!
