It looks amazing you must be very pleased with the result. Great to have had Nadine with you for a couple of months it must have been good to have her company. Sorry about your furry friends, these sort of things are always difficult when they are so much part of the family.<br /><br />Plastering is so difficult, I did a small amount around a doorway, I don't think I would try to take on a whole room, the two Lazarus's look as if they did an excellent job. Tell Nadine that we have a yellow spare room if she wants to visit France :-) <br /><br />Hope the life cycle is now returning to normal, I miss you when you are away.
