More greetings from a hot country

The sun has gone in now so I thught I would do an update.
A few more pictures, one of our lovely solid wood washbasin stand made by Sally's dad and the stairs, now that they have been stained.
The colours in the rooms don't look good on the blog - so you will have to come and visit to see them.

Greetings from Bahrain

Well, I moved in on the 1st of Nov-with a lot of help from Di and Jim. My mum and dad came over 2 days later and helped me clear out the workshop and my log piles from the old house (we do keep a load of rubbish!) and Sally's parents popped in just before I headed off for the sun.
There are a few bits inside the house that need finishing and as you can see from the pic the entrance needs tarring (I left on Wed and they were coming on Thurs to put the final surface down)
I can't explain how fab it is to be in a warm, draught free house. We eventually have a land line and Sky+ and hopefully by the time I get home we will have the gear to set up broadband.
I am just waiting for the sun to come out and then heading for the roof to sit round the pool and get a tan.......
