In plain view

 Last summer we put this privacy film on our kitchen window, our view was our neighbours extension, it works brilliantly, still lets the light in, we only use the blind on dark winter nights.

Recently I got these stickers for our back door, both Molly and George were forever leaving sticky finger marks here, the big sunflower is in a perfect position, it came with 4 large bumble bee's, the little ones took the 2 spare home, 1 each for their bedroom windows. 

Having done our en-suite, we have ordered new shutters for the window, to add a bit of colour as this is a sunny window, I got these flowers, I did think hubby would say no, but he's happy, it's nice to see their colourful reflection on the floor.

I got a choice of designs, the second design I put on our front door glass panels, an instant upgrade, hubby has not yet noticed. 

A quiet few days, we have been looking at carpet samples for our bedroom and stairs, it will be brilliant when it's all done. We have turned off the heating, it was only coming on in the mornings, every evening the house held the days heat. We got a quote for some rendering work on the back extension, it's not a big job, which we have accepted, just waiting for a date to start. Neither of us have any plans, we have completed all the big task for this year, though hubby will find something to do, and I will be gardening.

The little ones are happily back at school and pre-school, how quickly they settle back into their routine, we saw daughter and Molly on Wednesday, we popped out for coffee and cake in our village. Daughter came to visit on Saturday, Molly and George played outside most of the day Will stayed inside most of the time, we gave him loads of praise and a small reward for his first junior school report which was good, loads of enjoyable time together as we would not see them again for almost a week.

Friday was a rest day, we both agreed no jobs, we decided to pop out for lunch, we sat on the first floor level looking out over the marina at Port Solent, the sun shone, it was a peaceful time after all the recent decorating. Now we are away for a few days, a much needed break in Cornwall, no doubt I will post about our trip on my return, the weather is being kind to us, it's good to be able to relax together. It's sunny warm and peaceful here, what more do you want, even the drive was good.
