Hi folks,thank you for your comments and interest, and yes I am pleased, though there are a few things to be done, another glass fronted cabinet for the china where the clock is, a new blind to go up, and decorating of course. and it will be a relief when it is finally finished, but at least the worst is done.

The weather here has been awful, when I went out to-day it was blowing a hoolie, the rain was stinging, but we had a good walk along the beach, I'm sorry I didn't take the camera, as the sea was really boiling, there were a few surfers out, brave lads.

It hasn't stopped all day so I didn't take the dogs out tonight, as Tango got pretty wet this morning even having a coat on, his coat is so thick and takes an age to dry.

Yes we did have a nice meal to-day, went to the  local carvery, get this, Roast beef,turkey and ham, sausage, stuffing ball, Yorkshire pudding, mashed swede and turnip, roast and new potatoes, ratatouille, cabbage, peas and sweetcorn ! I passed on the swede/turnip, yuck, then ice cream sundae. glass of orange squash. not bad for £10 .95 [each] plus a good natter., but you can't put a price on friendship.
Tomorrow is supposed to be nicer weather wise, hope so.
