house warmer
had many friends over for our house-warming party.
it was supposed to be jazz and pimms by the pool.
but because of the miserable windy, rainy, end of summer's day, the jazz band had to cram into the breakfast room and the pool was forsaken.
we still drank pimms.
it was a layered day:
some people came for the daytime and brought picnics for lunch.
some people then stayed on and enjoyed a suasage sizzle round a big fire in one of the back fields.
and the hard-core stayed on and on.
swimming in the pool, drinking and trying to avoid a micheal barrymore moment.
and then as it was getting light again (and my mum and dad were getting up to look after the boys) we all went to bed: some of the brave sleeping in tents around and about...
had a lovely day/night despite the weather...

tomoland is one of my favourite blogs.
and yes: this shot of our stairwell IS indicitve of the state of the rest of our 356yr old farmhouse.
