Internet at Last

Well Roan Cottage finally has the Internet at last, thanks to Virgin Media! We also have a television and a telephone, although people are that used to phoning our mobiles now that the phone never rings! As for the television, it sits in the corner collecting dust! We are now waiting for our log fire to be install on the 15th, just in time for Christmas.... What started out as a holiday home has turned into our main home, as we are as I type awaiting the arrival of Chester and Jessies puppies, or should I say pup, as the Vet only thinks there is one. Jessie was due last Sunday and is now over due, but the Vet wants her to wait till Friday before we do anything.

So its been a busy time, we have put down a new slate floor, built whelping pens and painted everything. Uncle Anthony (Chris's little brother) has re-pointed our sandstone walls, with Uncle Paul (Chris other little brother) providing the plumbing for the washing machine, which was kindly donated by my little brother and sister in law. Its a real family project with mum sorting out our curtains and Kath and Christine doing all sorts of things.

In the middle of all this Chris started a new job and I had my graduation, as well as pickling everything that you could imagine could be pickled and making 9 Christmas cakes.... I think its something to do with the country air!!! I will start posting pictures again soon, including I am sure lots of puppy pics. The debate has now also started about names and whether I am aloud to keep them!!!
