Stairs look lovely. New carpet always feels so luxurious.

Beautiful carpet! How much time do you spend stroking it...and quite possibly purring in rapture? Xx3

It’s so soft your feet sink into it, it doesn’t smell of new carpet though 😆 The fitter did an excellent job, all on his own too. Need to put the pictures back up on the walls this weekend as it looks a bit bare. The cats have shown no interest in it so far 🤞I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Why would the cats show any interest if you are purring...they have delegated their work as effectively as cats usually do, no?4

I do like your new carpet! It will be lovely and warm for winter, too.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Love the new carpet.
Must remember to check our smoke detectors. They are hard wired but we should still check them anyway. Oh and the carbon monoxide alarm while I'm at it as well!2
