Happy Times

We have been working on our house for a loooong time, 6 years and 4 months to be precise.  Now I know it's not there yet (not by a long way) and we still have an inordinate amount to do, but it just looks so damn pretty at the moment!  I spent the day in the back yard doing loads of cleaning and clearing out - a long awaited sorting as Steve completed his shed and moved all his tools back in.  Having spent all day busy busy hot and sweaty, I went for a shower and when I was coming downstairs Steve commented that we were 'getting there' with the house, and how different it is now from what it looked like when we bought it.  He suggested I go out the front and have a look.  I went out in the beautiful afternoon light  and looked at our house in the dappled sunshine.  Wow!  It took my breath away, I just loved it!  And so I thought I would blog it, to remind myself of that happiness, when the interior of the house gets me down ;-)
