As a slight distraction I thought you'd like to see the new resident at Waterford Lodge, named "Flash" for obvious reasons, I guess!
Flash is a Giant African Land Snail, they're hermaphrodite which means that they can be a boy or a girl. They like beer (def. a boy), cucumber and like to stay warm and moist. I forgot that I had aided and abetted
the children's application to home him during the school holidays!
Upstairs is coming along well, the painters were in today and the first coat of "Ivory Cream" has been applied, carpets are being fitted in a week - so the plumbers need to get moving with the ensuite.

Downstairs is no further on, although the end is in sight with the current forecast for the folding doors arriving and being installed between 20th Jan and the 8th Feb - so hopefully the project will complete by the end of Feb?
