New fireplace!

Hooray! it is now possible to sit in the living-room with the fire on without breathing apparatus.........we have christened the new fireplace and it meets with feline approval. Meanwhile back at the ranch in the garden, the Son of Edinburgh Cotoneaster is in its new home by the drainpipe................the pernettya and various bits that fell off it are up with the rhodies by the fence, and the new heather bed has been constructed and looks very nice...........bees are loving the phacelia, the cos lettuce are delicious and the antirhinos are working, we have seen no rhinos in the yard and they look very pretty. ............indoor painting now complete and downstairs habitable, upstairs still a work in progress..............
