Christine Animal Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 OMG Jacqui, what a success story. Bravo ! What a lot of work went into that. The "paysaging" of the garden looks very English, but really very nice. [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still searching Delia's cook books for a decent recipe for apples and hay, any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi there,No its all new, there were no other buildings with this tiny little house, its a bit like a tardis really as what you can't see it has lower levels as its kind of on a rock face. It has been a labour of love and we are still at the internal stuff. OH has done 98% of the work except for when you have to have a hand full of brauny fellas about ( not a problem really!!!) to lift and shove stuff I can't help with. At the moment I had no kitchen for 2 years and no kitchen sink or a single worktop at all for 8 weeks so all these lovely pictures of beautiful ones all so clean and bright ( I have a toad living under a plastic bag that contains my pasta store and whilst I attempt to keep things hygenic it has to be asked how dirty is a toad really?)Make me want to runto Ikea and buy one instead of the long awaited oak and walnut one. OH won't hear of it. but it was going to be restarted today but he has the erge to do some wood turning, he's come over all Arty! I've come over all techy strangely.Lilly[IMG]http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk60/peachespuss/P1010.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
