We're back!

Nearly two years to the day since we first moved in, we have moved back in, and a few days later the boys arrived with their girlfriends for an early Christmas weekend. We have properly christened the kitchen and dining room now.

With the scaffolding down you can see the view from our bedroom

Karen applies the hard oil finish to our beautiful ash floor.

As soon as the oil hardened, we moved in. Karen is a happy girl!

Lyn came for tea, but was persuaded to stay for gumbo.

Christmas lunch practice run - the boys and girls cooked a delicious meal for us and their grandmother.

The stair is coming on Wednesday, but Karen decorated the temporary rail anyway.

The Christmas tree makes it look like a family home.
