Yes, I'm still here. I find it hard to believe that it's been nearly 6 months since my last entry. We've had a VERY busy time. Now things have slowed down a little and I've been getting some disgruntled mutterings that I'm failing in my duties, I guess it's time to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard!) and continue more or less, where I left off back in April, but moving on to June. Just let's see if I can remember how to write a blog!
So what's been happening?
Well, for those of you who don't already know, we have split our house in two so we can run the other half as a self-catering holiday-let specifically for families with a member on the autism spectrum. See website: autismfamilyholidays.co.uk
Despite still having a fair amount of work to do, we decided to advertise in the Spring for a Summer opening. With our first guests expected at the end of July our energies have been focused on finishing the renovations in that half, and developing a website, rather than writing blogs.
We had a vast amount to do in a very short time. We had been keeping many things in the holiday-let which we needed to make room for elsewhere - namely our upstairs room which was far from finished ...
Once we had finished that, we got working on the holiday-let.
We had a bathroom to put in ...
gas cylinders to hide, rubbish to clear ...
piles of rubble to clear ...
steps to build ...
a fallen tree to clear ...
and floors to lay ...
And just as Will was trying to convince me that it was achievable, he fell ill with a severe bout of food poisoning which put him in bed for two weeks and unable to do any work for at least a further fortnight!!
Then we had just over three weeks to go, which included 3 days off to travel to a family wedding.
HELP!!
Next blog - Help arrived!
Excellent! Next one tomorrow?
