work in progress

We have embarked on a summer of huge works.


Next door the old farm house is sort of getting there lots of new windows doors and adding a new layout upstairs so that, in a few years we will have a small house next door we can move into and let out the huge old pile here.



This all makes sense with Branwen off to uni in a year Bethan madly in love and the foster children all growing up.



It will be odd though moving to a more "normal"sort of a house.

The drive also has been virtually relayed Now I need to draw up some plans for making a Green Goddess garage.

Especially as Branwen and my rebuild of the ignition on Isabelle was such a storming success. Yesterday complete with a tank full of water it was off to the show with a vengance.

Pulling really well, and thanks to a ludicrously innacurate device breaking speed limits all over. 

Of course shows not by rivers are not proper GG do's at all.

Tomorrow is the carnival - by the river.....

And I have just realized I didn't mention A levels, the pre university qualification.

Bethan got 2 C's and 2 D's a miracle considering she has spent 2 years doing next to nothing.

Branwen in her intermediate AS exams got a creditable 2 A and 2 B grades.

She scored nearly 100% in photography, should think so too, the nikon we bought her cost a fortune!!!
