Morning Belle and everyone who comes along :-) <3 :-) <3

Its a lot lighter this morning here. Rained most of yesterday and all the snow and ice has now gone :-D

Off to take some dining chairs to be re-upholstered to match the new curtains.

Enjoy whatever you are all doing today. <3

Morning Belle, Kath and everyone :-) <3

The wind drove rain right up to the front door, but on the plus side, it is much milder.

How annoying it must be elsewhere in Kent to have rain falling, but none in the taps :-0 :-0

Kath, with all those recent changes, you are having a major new look in your home, - lovely.
I hope you are pleased with your chairs, when they are recovered.

I still have my parents' dining chairs.
Mum once told me that they had saved hard to get them and they had decided to pay a bit more for better quality ones, as they would last... and they have :-D

I do remember Dad taking all the thicker varnish off, perhaps late 60s era and now the lovely wood is visible. He recovered the seats around the same time, so I think they are due an upgrade now!

Take care everyone <3

Good afternoon all :-D <3

Much milder here today and we have ventured out :-D :-D

OH just for a short walk and then I went to the village. ;-) ;-)

Gwyn I suppose you could put a bucket out to catch the rain water and use it for the toilet. ;-)
Hopefully they will deliver bottled water to vunerable households.

Helston in Cornwall had the same problem after storm Goretti

Have a good day everyone <3

Afternoon Von :-) <3

So pleased that the improved weather means you could both venture out.
I bet OH was pleased with that progress <3

There were problems with water supply in some parts leading up to Christmas.
Yes, I would be resourceful, but there is only so much you can do.
A make-do wash would suffice if you are staying home, but to be out and about I'd want a bit better than that :-|
