      This weekend was moving in time.  We got about halfway there and then got bored.  I am cooking in the new kitchen for the first time atm, so that's a milestone in itself….

          ^In absolute agreement.  You both have done an amazing job on your remodel.  It’s been fantastic to watch the progress of this build and I can only imagine the beverages consumed during the entire process.

          Is your sofa (chesterfield) a Hancock & Moore?  Looks very similar to mine.

              The sofa is by Robinson of England. They do very nice work - I'm sitting on one they restored right now.

              The kitchen looks great.

                              BBQ area almost complete….

                              "Slightly" over-engineered doors.  Well, I had some lovely oak sitting around taking up space in the shed  🙂 🙂 ....

                                Only slightly, eh, G? What a great setup. That BBQ will see plenty of action for years to come.

                                  My folks have a very similar arrangement to that in Spain. It’s eminently practical and a pleasure to cook there. Have you considered having some gas driven rings alongside the grill? Means you can do an entire meal out there, greens, carbs, the lot.

                                  Those doors are wonderful. Lovely bit of wood.

                                            And, for those of you who have been here, you may remember that behind the big Bay hedge, we had a wasteland that I laughingly referred to as the kitchen garden.  Well, we gave up on that and decided that we would make it into a hidden cut flower garden.  I reckon I'm about 70% there, but boy what an improvement…..
