Jack and all trades

ALL WORK AND NO PLAY makes Jack a dull boy. So, after a (super) wedding on Saturday and 4 services on Sunday, Jack and Jill went up the hill to see how the builders are getting on at their beloved house in Cumbria. It was last October that we had to abandon ship to make way for a team of under-pinning mini-pilers to combat the effects of subsidence, and subsequent renovations that had begun life – when we bought the dear little cottage back in 2004 – with our vaguely contemplating perhaps having a new hearth rug! Ah well. The best laid plans of mice and men and all that. We didn’t realise, though, how agonising the waiting game would be. Today however appeared to be the day! A convergence of all trades made for a hive of activity. Architect and builder, electrician, joiner, kitchen fitters,  plumber and tilers. A new and glorious day is on its way, and we’re marvelling at how these talented guys have brought it all together. Now Jack and Jill just have to pay the bill ;D
