2010 is here...

We finally finished the cabin room at the cottage - just in time for the 2 sets of guests we had over Christmas and the New Year. We have further alterations planned as now we have much more space into the eves of the roof, we will be able to add some 'built' in cupboard and hanging space. This in turn means that we can remove two more pieces of furniture which don't really fit in at the moment and end up with a larger (and easier to clean) room.

Not often seen

Not even Mundesley has escaped the snow. This was the prom late morning - the snow had frozen solid and it was very slippery. Not a great deal of people about as you can see by the footprints...

Alterations

Last week during the half term we started some alterations on the top bedroom. The recent pine cladding has been removed from the walls and we are upgrading the insulation in the walls/ceiling. This should result in a larger space and it's tempting that this should be the master bedroom and not just for kids! In the picture above the horizontal beam and one of the vertical ones are original (c 1850) the rest of the vertical ones were supporting the cladding, these will be removed and the space opened up. More photos after the plasterer has been!

Half term week

This week is our usual time to make any little changes we've been storing up during the year. This year it's the turn of the top bedroom which is getting a new ceiling and upgaded insulation. It's also time for the large pine fire surround in the living room to go.

Weather is still holding up very nicely, It's warm on the beach and the beach fishermen are out in force.

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!
