Thought you all might like to see a picture of part of the new extension that we have added to our house. We added almost half a house and it was, quite frankly a year of hell! I am, by my own admission, a bit of a neat, tidy freak and the amount of dust and dirt nearly pushed me over the edge!! I was trying to work from home at the time and in hindsight ( a wonderful thing!) we should have had a bolt-hole of some sort! If we ever do a similar project again, a caravan or mobile home outside of the house but still on site would be an absolute must! Despite all of the upheaval, it has been SO worth it. This is the back of our sitting room and the glass roof has added so much light into this room, which was very dark and poky before. We now have a lovely view out onto our fields and I love sitting in the armchair as the light is perfect for sewing! In the picture you can just make out my cream table and chairs, a purchase from the Country Living Fair a couple of years ago. My ticket for the Spring 2007 fair arrived last week and I can't wait to go! I love the Spring fair more than the Christmas one but only just! The subject of another post I think!

Oh my, would I like to see another picture of inside your house?!? Yes, yes, yes!!! :-)
And what an all together lovely addition it is. I love it. I love plenty of light from outdoors. And you have such a lovely view, it was a shame, not to have seen it so well, before.
We don't have a lovely long view out our back patio door/window but I still love sitting in my favorite chair and viewing it... in all Seasons. It is my favorite place to sit. I don't have the expanse of land to see, but I do have the expanse of other neighbor's trees, which extend onward. I love this ever changing view.
And you said that you love getting 'proper' letters. Wondering if you get/send any, 'across the pond'? Maybe... Maybe... We might do so... :-)

Thanks so much for your kind comments, it's always good to get other people's point of view. I love the light it gives me and like you, I love watching the changing seasons.

And yes, lets write some 'proper' letters to each other, I would like that very much!

I finally found this message. Better late than never, as they say. :-)
Would you be so kind as to send me an e-mail at [email protected] ? I don't see your e-mail here, or I would do so to you. But anyway, if we have each other's e-mail addy, we can exchange snail mail address'. And maybe get a letter or two, going back and forth across the Pond. :-)
I'm not exactly sure where you are, but I think it's 'across the Pond,' as we say. :-)
