I'd rather be beachcombing.


Me and my grandson, Zach, on New Aberdour beach, collecting stones and looking at rock pools. Now back to ironing, cleaning, yawn, yawn. With the added 'excitement' of our entrance hall roof leaking. High winds and rain making things worse. We are midway through an insurance claim as the damage was caused by winds coming from an unusual direction and with great strength. Took us some while to get a roofer in to even quote. Meanwhile buckets catch the rain pouring in and the decor worsens. How long the plaster will last I know not. Not a happy bunny.
In amongst all this I have recovered six of the eight dining chairs. Two will have to be a different colour/fabric, but we mainly only have six out at a time anyway. Also made some new cushion covers for the seating area. All now a cheering rich red , warming to the eye. All downhill to Christmas now.
