Kitchen Chaos - Week 1

Now you see it:



Now you don't





New back door below:



The house is not very homely at the moment and dust is everywhere. Luckily we have escaped for the time being - thanks to Granny last week and to Helen and Steve this week.

Gnashes, Renos and Outings

The big news this week is (drum roll) Isobel has two bottom teeth - both popped up this week and are fiercely sharp so Mummy's fingers are no longer available for chomping on...Richard came back from his trip away and got stuck into the banisters. The lovely (Ahem) 1950s? spindles we had have now gone and are replaced with more traditional ones. The grooves of the original ones were still there, but has been quite a tough job and the finishing woodwork happens tomorrow.

Before:



Progress - and much safer for Miss Isobel



In an effort to clear the house to allow the DIY King his space, Isobel and I joined Helen, Sophie and her Aunt Susie on a jaunt to Islington. First lunch in Carluccio's - quite a grown up lunch really - made a change from the local East Dulwich/Park cafes. Then browsing (and purchasing of course) in Loop which had a tantalising range of yarns. Luckily Isobel fell asleep as we approached the shop - good timing!

Sunday we drove up to see our friends, Liz, Dan and Natalie just south of Cambridge. Natalie is 6 months older than Isobel - so just 'it' in Isobel's eyes. She loved having her lunch and dinner, playing with Natalie's toys and having a swing together.
