Yay!!!

'For Sale' board went up at last.

It is very eye catching. A double sided board and positioned to be seen whichever end of the road a car or pedestrian might be travelling.

There is a very cute little monkey on it which has already caused a bit of comment and apparantly a few brochures have already been requested from the agents - so hopefully things are starting to happen.

We are just waiting for Carl our chippy to pop along and put the finishing touches on our brand new utility room and cloakroom.

It's looking extremely good. I have gone for a slightly Japanese feel to those rooms as they lead out onto the garden and I have a bamboo and zen 'thing' going on out there.

The conservatory, kitchen and the utility and cloakroom are all seemlessly blending into an 'outdoor indoor' type mish mash.

The loo has turned out to be a very pleasant place to be. Very clean and calm and relaxing.

I am convinced that anyone who actually steps over the threshold of the house is going to fall in love immediately with it now. There is such a serene atmosphere and the lovely thick walls are keeping the house nice and cool despite the fairly humid day we are having today.

I remember when I lived in Barratt detached house - in the hot weather it was murder, as the walls were just not thick enough to provide much insulation from the heat so if a front room got warm then the rooms next to it would as well and the windows didn't generate any air flow even when they were open.

No problems like that in this house. The sash windows we installed are amazing! If you open the top and the bottom of just one window in one room, the hot air leaves through the top gap and pulls in cool air through the bottom - which causes a nice little air flow all on its own.

It is nice to sit near the window and just enjoy the breeze.

Some lucky person is going to have a wonderful house to enjoy and we can be proud to pass it on to them and enjoy our new life in Greece knowing we did a good job here.

I am a great believer in Karma.
