They say a picture is worth a 1000 words and we’ve got lots to tell you, almost too much to be honest and that’s what has caused the delay to posting so it’s time to play a little catch up and also unviel what’s been keeping us busy since March..

If at the start of the year you would have said i would be in a new job (yep i changed jobs), we’d be moving to a new area (yep we have bought another house) and that we’d have a baby (didn’t we tell you about that?) on the way, i would have said you were smoking something herbal but that’s exactly what has happened.

The new job keeps me away from home 3 or 4 days a week and while we’ve been looking for a house to resolve this Dawns bump has been getting bigger and bigger and when i’m at home i just haven’t felt like writing but now we’ve past the 20wk pregnancy mark and we know we are having a girl we also have a date to move into the new house and with those two things sorted there is once again some space to be able to share everything with you.

So while i get my writing head straight here’s what has also been going on and what to expect from me this week :

The new English family home :

Final plans are in and have been for a good few weeks now: Rear bedroom is 99% renovated, just paint to go : New floor laid in the rear room : 2nd part of the kitchen built : Appliances arrived and installed in the kitchen : Final plastering on bathroom finished :

All these are going to take me a few days as there of course has been a lot of work around the quick pictures posted here so i look forward to sharing them with you. If you can’t wait then click on the Flickr gallery link on the right as that’s were most are. Once again thank you to Dad who spent another couple of weeks in the house and made massive progress, the last visit in France really felt like home.
