Autumn Half term

We've just spent a week at the cottage ourselves so we could get on with the yearly maintenance tasks. At least that was the idea - the weather was so mild that we managed to get several long walks in. This week we also had a new bathroom flooring put in. The existing baords had to be boarded first before the new vinyl ( lino ? ) could be laid. It was expensive but we are very pleased with the results.

Autumn

After an excellent September weather wise for our guests, the first October visitors have had a windy and chillier start to their stay. I think Autumn has definitely arrived. We have a ragged Virginia Creeper along our side wall which always puts on a great autumn display, (note to self to check the horizontal supports that hold it to the wall over the winter), the picture above isn't ours - I forgot to take a picture this week, hopefully it will still be there next week!
