Happy Christmas. RIP Phileas!

My wanderings are done. A last minute frenzy of activity from the construction company enabled me to move into Fairhurst’s Folly just in the nick of time. So it’s time to say goodbye to Phileas… at least for the time being!

It was certainly touch and go, though.IMG_3189Over the last 5 days, the kitchen guys arrived with about 10 tons of MDF!

An outside shower was built.

The pool tiling was completed….

and the pool filled.

Planting continued in the garden,

even during the night!

(whilst at the same time the wardrobes were being built)

and the ground was then levelled ready for turfing.

At one point I counted 27 workers on site. It was pandemonium but we  got there – only a couple of days later than scheduled. So, miracles really do happen! OK, so there’s still a bit of finishing off to do but I managed to get the place looking half way decent before the arrival of my sister on Sunday.

These last few days have been a tad stressful, largely due to the uncertainty of the moving in date, right up to the day before my sister arrived. But we made it so now it’s time to relax. Oh no it isn’t. I’ve got to put the turkey in!

A very Happy Christmas and love to my family and friends and here’s hoping that 2019 will be a good one for all – a year when we can put all the bad stuff behind us and move on to a bright and Brexit free future!

Live long and prosper.

    When are you back in the uk ? Or Spain. Seems a while since we’ve seen you !

    As you say, let us hope 2019 will be good for us all ….. Without all the ‘toxic’ stuff … And hopefully, good health for us all. Cannot even mention Brexit !
