Latest pics plus tally ho!!

Garage trusses are up today....................




Looking more like a proper garage now (well a bit!)






Tally Ho?.................



Not really Tally Ho! This was the view from our temporary bedroom balcony (AKA scaffolding) last Saturday evening. It was part of the Hawick common ridings which takes place every year. (Google it if you're interested.) There were about 120 horses and riders. They use the field opposite what will be our house once a year during the Denholm Ride-out. Hopefully we will be on the lawn with a glass of wine watching this next year.

Upstairs Downstairs!

Roof is rainproof - and it's needed to be :(  - A week of lovely weather followed by two days of rain. Ready for slates soon :)

Upstairs.... It was exciting to be able to go upstairs (or rather, up a ladder!) last night..........


Bill kept saying 'Watch where you're walking' I think he was secretly hoping ..........


Downstairs.....
Looking towards the front from the lounge with an enticing view of the toolstore and portaloo.
We'll try to keep the lounge a bit tidier when we move in!
