The moving...

...of rooms has started. Our present kitchen is small, dark and not very nice, and one thing we decided on when buying our cottage was to move it.

We have two rooms that have light pouring into them all day, and have a view of the garden...rather than the churchyard opposite. The water is already there, as one is a tiny utility room, and with a thin partition wall between that and a small sitting room, which we'll never use as one...we can take it down with ease, and open this space up.

Well, we've ordered ourselves some units...just a couple for the sink and a larder cupboard. The kitchen is my one extravagance, I've been saving for it. I had an AGA previously, and that's it...the man comes in a weeks time for the survey. Oh, to get back to one...I can't wait!

We have a large hand built oak table, which needs some work, but will be beautiful once the orange modern varnish is removed...we were lucky in acquiring it. That will be the main surface in the kitchen, and over time we'll find ourselves an old cupboard for crockery, odd dining chairs...and the bits and pieces that gradually makes it mine....

My minds eye has a picture, now I just need to make it happen.

Seems my team's Saturday match is in doubt. After the pre-Christmas big freeze and snow, we now have the next. Though we've only had a sprinkling here so far, further south is suffering...my brother in law did not make it home from work tonight... My team is in South East London...and that's quite white, and though the ground staff team have worked hard, it will be decided before the weekend, but it looks as though a postponement is more than a possibility. This comes hard on last weekends postponement, which saw Norwich catching...and over-taking us on goal difference. Do we need this match to keep us sharp, or the postponement to get some of our injured players back?! Do we need Norwich to get a points difference too? They've signed two players this week too...we've extended a defenders loan spell until the end of January...

Some additional pieces of jewellery were added to my Etsy jewellery shop tonight...some simple "Little Misses" bracelets, and adults bracelets and necklaces...
