Richard safely ensconced on a £3.99 Ikea chair in front of the Olympics.

Just the ticket!

Well, we only got 2 tickets : (   Pfneh

Did I tell you I sold all of our furniture on eBay?!
Fed up moving it around, from house, to flat, to house, blah blah blah.

So out with the old and in with the new! Hopefully.

A wee Jubilee memory too

And bonkers art on Baker Street, W1.

OMG. Gorge. Finally : )

Loving my... sorry, our new floor already : )

I love a bit of antique oak herringbone parquet of a Tuesday afternoon!

Ok so the blue tape on the new fireplace is optional...

I'm in love with this auld hoose agin! ; ) 

Yay! The hoardings are gone.
Nay! We now have orange bricks. A soot wash to come.
