More Progress


We now have front lights and a house number! I will have to go and sit in the gutter across the road tonight, to take a photo of the place all lit up. I think I'm going to give 'Clark Griswold' (National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation) a run for his money, in the exterior lighting department!

The lights are called 'Oceanside'.... sounds so coastal.... if you close your eyes, you can hear...the sea?..... oh no that's a train..... a little bit of seaside in the city!

Another view, from the other side of the fence (from my instant new best friend's garden)! Hi D!

'D' and I are taking the morning off and going out for coffee. As much as I love my house to bits, it's nice to leave it sometimes! Work can wait today....... I need some time out!
Have a great day!

The exterior of your house looks fantastic. I love the cross pattern on the gates. Hope you enjoy your coffee and morning out - always a great idea when things have been hectic.

Your house is looking so good A-M, I bet the kids are loving the unusually warm weather I know my son would be begging me to go swimming every afternoon. xx

A-M everything is looking great! I didnt post the other day about the landscaping but Mr A-M is doing a great job. I looked up to see what the liquid amber tree would look like. Very nice!We ordered our new outside lights a couple of weeks ago and havnet heard anything as of yet. And we are making our own street number plack. (waiting for the lights tho) Hope you had a good coffee break. Julie in HOlland ;)

P.S. Loved your comment over @ The Hedge tonight. Yep, MOTH needs to keep in buttoned. He just escaped suspension @ the Tribunal - got a severe reprimand & a big fine.
