The boys there are pretty well connected so we might be able to get some traction. I hope so.

There's even a country-kitchen style one, that looks like a cabinet, not a fridge.

One day I will have one of those Italian fridges, albeit the most basic model. They are so beautiful (not necessarily that one.) I like the yellow cabinet one.

My garden is being flattened by the rain. The poppies and aquilegia are splattered especially. For some reason the delphiniums are coping fine and I hadn't even braced them against the heavy winds we've had,

The wind is roaring here. any attempts at going out have pushed me back indoors

So pleased that the word is getting out.

I haven't read the other stories, its probably too heart wrenching. It's sad at times like this that there have to be some 'winners' and the fund cannot just be allotted between all those chosen for attention in this way. . Nevertheless, its daisy 'we know' so I keep my fingers crossed for her.

I think I am giving up looking for a bath for the main bathroom.

How much difference in width practically would 50 mm make? I have found one that's stylish but not brilliantly comfortable looking that's the right length and extra deep ( so the right depth) but 800mm not 850mm wide. Architect is suggesting making a bath on site to fill the gap but seems excessively princessy to me. I just dunno.

Bath and shower heads still to decide (we're having an over head and a hand held in the shower) and then I've chosen All the bathroom fittings.

next is wood panneling styles and two bathroom safe wall lights (i can hardly bear the idea of looking atm) and paint colours which I can do afterwards.
