Not much news on the extension at the moment. We're working away trying to get our old bedroom back into use as I'm fed up with the chaos of everything piled into the spare room. But lots of plastering required, stripping wall paper etc. Managed to buy a selection of decorating materials in our favourite shop in the Gallowgate - it's brilliant! I wanted browns and huge patterns, as seems to be all the vogue. So we've ended with cream and red with virtually no pattern at all. It follows.

Still waiting for the wood for the outside lap-boarding.

And today Mike is spending hours fitting a tiny ceramic 'thing' into the wall in the new room. It was his birthdy present from a wonderful gallery in Ambleside and is a sort of box with a light in the back. You'll have to see it!
