Bet there are lots of thoughts there for gardening, sitting, etc. I love that white is your primary color. Accessories can change through the years when you have good design 'bones' like your place does.

And as we are planning on installing solar panels next year we will be generating our own electricity so this makes it a very sensible option.<br /><br />Having the Aga, which is a constant source of heat also means that the central heating will not have to be used except in extremely cold weather which will cut down on our fuel bill too.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-10815163024378943622013-10-01T22:50:08.494+01:002013-10-01T22:50:08.494+01:00Don't panic the other half of that window is i...Don't panic the other half of that window is in the office, so the same view will be available to stare at from the next room, that's why I CAN bring myself to protect our modesty in the toilet.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-75087211120719959562013-10-01T22:48:27.423+01:002013-10-01T22:48:27.423+01:00I can't wait to see her either :-) so close n...I can't wait to see her either :-) so close now, so close !!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-81137639068038953962013-10-01T22:47:01.746+01:002013-10-01T22:47:01.746+01:00They are expensive but add their value to the hous...They are expensive but add their value to the house they are put in, as you can see from Escape to the Country they really entice folk in, so are worth every penny.
