Well, here we are;  to all intents and purposes the room is finished.  We await some spindles from Howard, and the bathroom is to be completed but no hurry there. Apart from the wonderful sofa and chairs we have a lovely table for working on (lap top, sewing machine etc) so at last the dining table won't be perpetually cluttered with papers and stuff;  also a very fine sideboard - to take all the papers and stuff!  We thought of having a seperate drinks cabinet up here but decided I would quaff it all and it would keep needing re-filling.  Perhaps a wee pulley system will get over the difficulty of carrying Mikes ridiculously full glasses of gin up the stairs.

The dog adores it and on good days we open the door and he parades up and down the balcony shouting at other dogs;  drives me mad.  But generally it is a truly delightful room - VERY relaxing which is unique in our house.  And provides us with bit of extra room so we can each have our own space at last.  Saves me from sitting out in the greenhouse.

Come and see it for yourselves.
