Last post

I have decided to make this my 130th & last post, with a picture of the finished house, our beautiful sign, the rowan, holly, and our lavender hedge.

We will of course, still keep busy, making things and getting the house as we like it inside, but, at our 4 year anniversary, feel we can say that the "build" is finished.

We have learned a huge amount since we began and made a host of new friends. A lot has happened in the family as well. We both retired, we have had a wedding, a funeral and a birth.

The blog has been a great record of everything that has happened, of everyone who has helped us (and a very tiny number who have hindered!)

I'm glad that I recorded thanks throughout, as there are too many to list, except to say:

if you have been, thank you for reading our blog

Keith has been working very hard to get the garden looking nice. We have replanted all the bulbs (fingers crossed they will look nice in spring) and planted the borders (thanks to Steve Jackson, a true gardener,  for his contributions). We have a fence to stop Joe running into the brook, and Keith has put up 2 of our Christmas presents: a weather vane and bird house.

Genghis came to visit, here he is, inspecting the work in progress:
