Mark is currently in Germany with work… funny how these work trips always come up when work on the house is planned! Anyhow, it is my pleasure to be at home during the dusty chaos and see it all take shape.

When we decided that the house needed a new bathroom ( this was not a difficult decision!) I envisaged a lovely new suite, new tiles and a fresh coat of paint. I did not expect that it would be taken back to the bare bones.

In an odd way it was very moving to stand in front of this brick wall. Over one hundred years old, a strong solid support, built to last for many families to enjoy and make their home.  It reminded me why we fell in love with this old and tired building.
