In a post 14 months ago, I mentioned that all we needed to do was replace the front door and the porch, and we'd have a house that was winter proof. In March this year, we finally actually did just that!

Here is the porch as it looked before:

Original house porch. True story: It was originally built 60 years ago by the husband of the lady next door.

And a couple of pictures of it under construction:

And here is the final product!

And just in time too - it started snowing here again in April!


We also took the opportunity to get the plasterer to redo the main bedroom in the house - queue a lot of late nights for me madly painting, trying to get it all done before the arrival of the twins! Turned out OK though:

New curtains and bedspread still to go, but at least it is livable!

Yours etc,
