Things are looking up.

If you've ever wondered what the underside of your upstairs looks like in the nude, this could be it.
Resulting from an overflowing cistern 23/12/2019, we at last have major repairs underway.    Ceiling going up tomorrow and cornice the following day.
Dismantling of our hall ceiling and walls will follow later this week, and hopefully the whole will again be whole before Christmas.
Important that, as we will have hordes descending on us for enormous festive fodder.
Oh no we won't.   It will be stir fry for two, methinks.
