Celebration

The day dawned sunny with just a hint of Autumn in the air.
I popped out to take a few photos of the growing extension.
View through my new workroom/study room
It seems to be larger inside than we thought it would be, which is a good thing.
View through our new kitchen window
It's moving on at a pace and the scaffolding goes up on Monday. There is still a long way to go yet though.
I took my entries down to the Conservative club in the village ready for the Michaelmas show. Remember last year?

Everybody would like to take one of these home!
The standard was much higher this year and the entries had tripled so I wasn't holding my breath.
We went to Andy Thornton's to find some 1930's doors for the interior of the extension and we found two that were just right.

It's a great place to walk around.
Then we went back to see if any of my entries had won anything.
Everybody got some sort of award.
The photographs on display
It was very busy as we moved around to find my entries.

Silver Gilt!
My painting of Clemmy got a Silver Gilt Award.
Lots of lovely awards!
My damson jam got Gold, my lemon drizzle cake got Bronze and I got lots of different awards for the photographs.
Sunrise at Cunning Corner
My photo 'Sunrise at Cunning corner' won gold and Best in Show!!!!
I was very pleased, hubby didn't take a photo of me getting my trophy from the Mayor, he couldn't turn the camera on - Men!

  2. Wow Lyn - well done!!
    I've been browsing some of your pictures from older posts before I found your blog, and they're beautiful! I especially loved 'Narnia' and your snowy visit to Malham Cove. Your many photos of trees are really beautiful!!

  3. Congratulations - well deserved I'd say (not that I can tell what the cake and jam taste like but I'm sure they are excellent and the photos and drawings certainly are!). Bet you were thrilled. Hope the extension goes ahead as expected and that it won't be long before you are actually using it!

  22. Fabulous! Very well done and much deserved.

    I'm excited for you on the seeing the walls formed on your extension, from doing our own I know how exciting it is to creep out when the builders have gone and stand there seeing the space properly for the first time.

    The extention looks amazing, I love it when it really starts taking shape, enjoy xx
