The hallway painting is finished.

Posted on March 25, 2005 by Henry Elliss

This entry is a culmination of days, as the painting of the hall is a) by no means that exciting, and b) no way exciting enough to warrant more than a page’s worth of photos.

In case you were wondering, we chose the colour scheme after seeing it done in a paint brochure, and we think it turned out pretty nicely. It was trickly figuring out where to take the line on all the stair inclines, but I reckon we got it right.

We followed the finishing touches (on Monday) by trying out our new barbecue – it wasn’t really barbecue weather, and we didn’t have anything to sit on, but we improvised quite well I think!!

Some lovely sunrises, lots of ice on the canal and a couple of rivers and lakes that were quickly merging together, at the expense of the newly-laid track. At least my wellies stayed strong!

One good thing to come from this week’s rail strikes (and the subsequent week WFH) was my daily sunrise walks - something I really miss when I have to go into London. Fingers crossed that 2023 allows for a few more of them.
