November progress...

Couldn't send my book last night as there's a computer glitch at the other end, so I get to play with it for just a little longer.

Meanwhile our building project continues apace. These pics were taken on the weekend. The tiles haven't been grouted in these photos, and there's still a way to go, but it's starting to feel v exciting.

Below is the connecting corridor... between the old and the new... and I'm planning little courtyards on either side. Gotta keep it romantic. :)



And this is part of the new bedroom. It shows a view through to the bathroom and the nook at the end of the bedroom where the wardrobes will go.
Below is the first piece of stained glass I bought, and it inspired us to keep looking for the others.

And here's the exciting new bathroom floor.
Now, I have to start packing as we're hoping to rent out our city apartment and become full time country folk. Eeek, I'm living my heroines' lives.

Your glass window is lovely, I have some as well!! I think it looks a bit art deco!!
How exciting your renovations look, and you are living one of your novels, moving to 'the bush'!!!

I'm not quite as brave as my heroines. We're only commiting ourselves to a year in the bush at this stage.

Have fun in the country, Barb! Must be lovely seeing progress finally galloping along. Wish I could have seen it on the weekend...
