Bah Humbug......ground to a halt.....
.....the building work that is.
The workroom has a floor and a chandelier. The rest is going very.......very.......slowly.
It won't be finished before Christmas so I have cancelled Christmas for this year!
Some decorating has been done upstairs and outside but the floors, radiators, sockets and heating is still unfinished. Every trade seems to be waiting for an other and they are waiting for an other!!!
Sorry, moan over!

There has been some wonderful sunrises and sunsets recently though.

I was feeling a little left out yesterday. The whole of the country had a blanket of snow, and there was not a flake to be seen in West Yorkshire!
but it arrived during the night.
maybe I won't cancel Christmas after all....... just do a more modest Christmas this year.......the snow has had a magical effect!
We got some at the same time Lyn - that chandelier reminds me of Downton Abbey!!! Marvellous. xxx
ReplyDeleteI want your snow!!! We haven't had any on the outskirts of London just yet despite it being bitterly cold. I am sorry that the building work is taking so long, it always does doesn't it? Your sky pictures really cheer me up. In my next life I will return as a bird and soar high in the sky!!! x
ReplyDeleteTry and get invited out for Christmas dinner.....that's what we did when we were in the middle of our house renovations....I can highly recommend having a lovely dinner put in front of you without any of the effort of making it!
ReplyDeleteThe sunsets have such an alluring effect...
ReplyDeleteThe room is going to be wonderful, just a gift for the new year that's all. Lucy doesn't seem to mind.

I think winter skies are the best kind.
ReplyDeleteShame the renovations won't be finished by Christmas - but it will all be worthwhile in the end.
I love the fact that you do at least have a chandelier!! What more could you need?! Lovely photos of the skies there and glad you are not left out any longer. We too have had a few flakes overnight here in the West Country so can now join in with the rest of the UK. I am sure your pared down Christmas will be every bit as enjoyable or dare I say even more enjoyable than your planned one.
ReplyDeleteJane
just think though, you can have a very large real tree in there and lots of room for loads of pressies underneath!
ReplyDeletelovely sunset/sunrise pics too!

Beautiful photos Lyn! Love that last one.....so telling!
ReplyDeleteHey, think of how great your place is going to look when it's all done!
Snow does have that 'let it go' effect on me too. All the best.

just had a fantasic sunset on drive back from Manchester - hang on in there with the building it will be worth it!
ReplyDeleteShame about the delays but please don't cancel Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWe've had about a foot of snow here. The cats are not impressed.
Amazing photos, never mind it not being done for xmas, it might be ready for the summer bbq?!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteoh noooooooo!...understand the frustration of waiting on others drives me to throw wobbly's hehe
ReplyDeleteLooking fab so far though...something to look forward too in January
Covering of snow here yesterday but nothing this morning furballs are not keen lol
Personally l'd like 2' to LOOK at! lol

Hi Lyn, your chandelier looks fantastic, and so does the floor. It all looks fresh and new I wonder if any building work ever goes exactly according to plan? I'm pleased the snow has provided some festive spirit!

Great shots Lyn!
ReplyDeleteHave a good Sunday and enjoy your sprinkle of snow..just silly rain here!

We haven't had snow yet. I can wait. I am glad you aren't cancelling Christmas! Having the family over this year. So much to do!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting very impatient about the snow we've had a dusting and a lot of ice - brrrrr

Sorry to read about your building news, but that's a nice ending to your post, we haven't had any snow here in Kent despite it being forecast for today and the boys are rather desperate for some. Love the chandelier! Bethx
ReplyDeleteFabulous sunset shots! We've had a fair bit of snow over the last couple of days. Hope you have a good week. Ros
ReplyDeleteI can't say I'm sorry we haven't had snow after last year. I love it sometimes but last year was a bit too much.
ReplyDeleteWe've had only the sprinklyist sprinkling of snow so far - though as I'm typing and dead on queue with the met office Twitter warning, the snow has started to fall. Just small light flakes so I don't expect it will be dramatic.
ReplyDeleteIt's soooo cold though, that has been unexpected!
Stay warm
Celia
Beatiful images as ever ! Snow if forecast tonight.. and heavy !
ReplyDeleteThe extension looks great so far (fingers crossed for fast paced workmen!) Loving the chandelier; I'm trying to find something suitable for our living room at the minute, and unfortunately there is a low ceiling to contend with.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry we in North East England (twinned with Lapland) have stolen all the snow. Who knows, if enough falls, it may well topple over into West Yorkshire..!
