New window is in

A visit to The Burrow this morning saw Rachel's dream come true - her new sash window had been put in upstairs, and was looking fantastic. We stuck our heads in the door briefly to see the joists going in for the floor, so all is going well on that front. By the time we came back from town at 4pm everyone had cleared off, presumably to go and watch the world cup!

This was a welcome distraction from Monday's site meeting which saw us waiting for 20mins in the rain for Mr Architect to turn up (he's not once been on time) and then finding that my fears about the kitchen layout not matching his plans were correct. We waited until today to get any word back from him about what the scale of the problem is, but it looks to mean we have to lose 100mm off the width of the kitchen. This pretty much wrecks our chances of having a double sink (we'd had our heads turned by Jenny & Mark's) but should mean everything else will fit in. Off to Wickes tomorrow to get the plans re-drawn and our order amended.

We will be back on Sunday for the Cowley Road Food Festival so will take the camera and get some updated photos
