Yes, our friendly ex-fireman and his wife have completed the job, and my little house has been transformed. Now has pristine cream walls with green window-sills, pipes, etc. Looks positively jaunty. If only farmer next door would follow suit, our row of three would look very dashing. Sadly his cottage is murky grey and he is mourning loss of two pigeons, taken by sparrow hawk. Feel outside decor not a priority.
Two has been a bit glum recently. Is, I think, bored. Hardly surprising as tends to spend days watching TV or hunched over laptop concocting ever more complex spreadsheets for horse racing odds. Is however planning expedition to B & Q to purchase new loo seat, which will at least Get Him Out of the House.
Am off to Paris soon on Eurostar to visit daughter and grandsons. Apparently 3 year old has forgotten me, so need to be reinstated in role as Nana from England.
Funny, sad, account of life for 60 something lady, who retires to the Derbyshire Dales with husband, knowing not a soul.
