We continue to be in a local lock down situation - To be honest it means nothing much different to what we have been doing since original lock down back in March - back to fewer visitors just as we were being a wee bit more social - we are using the time to crack on with our kitchen makeover. What started as a brighten up a 'bland' space has turned int a major overhaul.... and while I suspect its driving Dr Fred a bit bonkers its all coming together quite nicely. We were lucky to get the new replacement work tops sorted just before we all had to practise better social distancing at home and now Dr Fred has been tiling for the first time and its looking sooooo good and I have finished painting all the cream cupboards - they are now several shades of blue and green- just the fiddley bits and the duck boards to finish.... next up the walls!!!
I'm not posting pictures until its finished so the full glory can be revealed but its defo turning into our kind of kitchen and bland is not a word that springs to mind!!!!
Meanwhile in the garden the autumnal weather is bringing our some amazing colours in the foliage - particularly the Acers - and the copper beech is slowly losing its leaves but is a wonderful collection of bronze and green fading colours - this garden just continues to be a joy to watch as the seasons change.
We have been putting food out for the hedgehogs but they seem to have disappeared! We are hoping they have a better offer somewhere else nearby - I've got a bit invested in Adamfrost and his pals and I don't like to think he has met with some unfortunate accident!!! We haven't had the camera out for a few nights due tot he torrential rain but it went out last night and it didn't reveal anything other than the local kitty and slug population.
Life feels a bit like its on hold again, we watch the news briefly but find it depressing and I'm left with a vaguely unsettling feeling that money matters more than lives - its hard to be realistic and optimistic at the same time in these circumstances - however I am a glass half full kind gal and I'm thinking things will improve eventually - I will fill my days with a colourful kitchen, a massive glut of tomato's, three green beans daily and hopefully a bit of hedgehog whispering....
