The Circus Comes to Town!

It's October half-term in the UK, so Steven and our friend (John) headed down to France for a further week's work on the house.












As winter was fast approaching, one of the key targets was to get some form of heating into the house. A small wood-burner was purchased and was to be fitted in the fire-place we uncovered in the summer .

Another project for the week was to put up the stud-work, fit loft insulation and begin the process of converting the attic room into a third bedroom with ensuite bathroom.













Luckily, John's friends, Keith and Chrissie were returning from Spain and (foolishly) decided to pop in for a visit, they were rapidly enlisted to help with some of the labour, including fitting the flue for the wood burner and also with lifting the sheets of plasterboard up two flights of stairs read to start on the conversion of the attic.

Then, Steven got the hump...













Oh, sorry, silly mistake, the Circus came to town. So a fun time was had by all watching the entertainment.
