It seems strange to think that in less than a month we should have the new kitchen installed. There will still be plenty to do. New lights, flooring, decorating, blinds etc, but at least the most horrific bit will be done. The rest can be done in phases as we feel up to it. We're going to do the big food shop today & it's suddenly struck me that this is probably the last big shop before we start emptying cupboards, ready to move out while the work is done.
It's exciting & yet at the same time a bit scary. Last time we moved out while some work was done, we came back to find the work had barely begun. The designer had mismeasured the bedroom so the wardrobes etc didn't fit. We hadn't left a contact phone number & we were in St Lucia, too far away to pop back to check how things were going. This time we're going to stay local. The cottages we're favouring are only half an hour or so away, in rural Lancashire, by the canalside near our friends MK & Helen. Far enough to feel we're on holiday, away from Morecambe/Lancaster, but near enough to pop back every day to check there's no problems. The adjoining pub does good food too!
