Happy New Year!










A bit late perhaps!

The winter onslaught continues - we've survived the snow, the minus 10C, and latterly splodgey splodgey rain. We feel thoroughly onslaughted - but somehow this winter has felt a bit easier - much of this is due to snow tyres on the van. That extra ability to get out when we needed to has made a big big difference.

Meanwhile the house build rolls on. The builders have been heroic - driving through from Caithness nearly every day when the snow was here - we only lost about a week. But the date of our moving in seems to be sliding inexorably away - almost within each and yet...

Here's some progress shots of the house - and it's really difficult to get decent piccies - especially on a dullish day with a camera low on batteries and still covered in dust from the chimney fire - oh the excitement you miss cos I've gotten out of the habit of blogging. Maybe I'll return soon.

Great, thanks. Looking good! Fingers crossed for the new move-in date.

(grabl: what's left to do before you can move in)

At last, the hoose is nearly there! Seriously close to finishing at least to some standard of habitability (except the kitchen?)
Thanks for the photos and confirmation that the builders really are still working for you. Cannae wait for the 'We're in!' blog.

Awrabest for the rest.
