Easter Sunday

Happy Easter everyone.

It's a cold but sunny day there on the edge of the Fens. The rain has managed to hold off since early morning despite threatening dark clouds scudding across the sky. We've had allot of rain this week interspersed with sunny intervals. The sun and rain has urged spring to try and play catch up even though we've had cold winds. The Hornbeam trees lining the foot path behind our house have got tiny bright leaf buds just showing when the sun catches them. Usually they are the second tree behind the Willow to leaf up in the spring and they would normally be in full leaf by now.

The self seeded pale yellow wild Primroses are in full bloom across my garden as well as along the road side banks.

A little chilly for the spring lambs I fear. Their coats are not as warm and shaggy as Mama.

The new shower room was finished by Tony the Plumber on Friday April 1st, all Fools Day! (How appropriate!) Just one month after it was started on March 1st. He had finally managed to get the handles for my cabinets from the showroom people and came to fix them on. We've just gloss painted the inside of the door white as the brown door would look naff. Sometime in the future we're going to replace the internal doors with a more modern style. I now need to ring the suppliers to get them to remove the redundant Wet Wall panels from the bedrooms so I can get in to spring clean and remove all the plaster dust. Then it will finally be finished. Well, except for haggling about the final payment for it all.

I must say I'm eventually pleased with the final results. It's not all turned out to the style I had planned . Mainly due to the products the showroom ordered. It's a little annoying especially when I had specific plans and pictures of the type of products I wanted. The layout is right, just the basin isn't quite what I wanted but by the time all the other annoyances of the project had been sorted I gave up and settled for what I could get. Still having a shower now is bliss.
