The long gap in our blog is partly because we took a break and went to Crete for 10 days - thanks to Margaret & Terry for suggesting Paleohora, which was wonderful:

Most evenings we ate at one of the cafes with this view.

When we returned, we met up again with Rob, who was one of the groundworks team during the freezing weather in January. He has returned to level the ground for the drive, install soakaways, and to pave it. He has dug the border that enabled us to plant these lovely trees:



From the front: red robin, rowan, holly. Thanks to Majestic Trees for all their help (not to mention looking after them for 15 months!)


Thanks also to Stephen Molcher at Storefield Aggregates. They have delivered all the materials on time, at a good price, and Stephen's advice & patience have been invaluable.

Inside, I am doing the mosaic in the bathroom, and Keith is installing doors. More photos to follow.
