    Miserable weather here too Beanie, although I am not complaining as I am working on my day off as I have a deadline 🙄 if it was sunny I'd be proper resentful! 😂

    Lovely dress 🥰🥰

    Do you mind me asking how much your window cost? We have a few that just want the glass doing. We had a few whole windows replaced a couple of years ago so it would be useful to compare costs - I assume replacing panes is cheaper?
