The end is nigh..............(in a good way!)

Oh my, the end (of our building work) is in sight...... Man laying floor!! -



**********************
Everything outside looks so amazing in the heavy frost, doesn't it? - I took loads of photos today, but then accidentally deleted most of them!





A frosty bike! -


Finally got out to some shops today (= charity shops!!) - very pleased with this fellow - (?1950s) -



Woof, woof, this is my better side.......


And some lovely cups -





 Try as I might, I can't get the pic of the black cup and saucer the right way up!!!


Well, I think Mr Blogger is defeating me now - so slow!!  So I shall away!

    Thanks, fee-bee - hopefully building work more or less done by Christmas - builder says he'll finish off after Chrsitmas, with stuff like skirting boards. Having said that, builder came today and then has had to go as his daughter's ill. Enjoy your day too!

    So glad you're nearly at the end of the upheaval! Lovely photos, whichever way up. I was having problems with photos on Blogger the other day too. Don't fancy getting on that bike!

    I bet you can't wait for your building work to be finished? Then the fun begins putting all your treasures back into place and buying new ones!! I love your finds, especially the little dog.

    I love your little dog! What a great find. And the photo of the bikes is great - definitely worth making into a card for next year!
    Our frost has melted today and we've even got sunshine and blue skies :-) It makes me feel good to see the sunshine!

    Good to see the floor going down.

    Lovely pics, I tried to take some but they did not come out very well. All our snow has gone (the little bit we had) but the frosty morning views are lovely to look at x

    Oh very jealous of your little dog find! It seems to be almost impossible to pick up vintage toys in charity shops nowadays with the health & safety stuff, it's usually just a load of old Toys R Us tat!

    Yes! "Man laying floor" is a beautiful sight... you know you are nearly there when these stages take place.

    Beautiful baby grand daughter - congratulations!

    Seeing Santa absailing must have been a sight - a close-up would make a good X-mas card!

    Your new header is lovely and very seasonal!

    Thank you so much for all your lovely words on my blog - you are very kind.

    Regards, Helena

    The frost is so pretty at the moment. You must be so relieved to see the end of all the work and having thoughts of getting back to normal. Mr blogger does have his moments doesn't he?:)

    I tried to comment twice on your new bundle of joy and was not able to. So I hope this comment will stick I don't know what happened?
    But I love your comments and I did not want you to think I was ignoring you!

    I love your blog and this post, I too love frost!

    You must be so excited about the new floors!
    I love frost, I would much rather have that than the snow. At least then I wouldn't have to shovel everything out.
    Your new finds are just wonderful Abby.
    have a lovely week.
