We're nearing the home straight....

The plasterer starts a week Monday and has a mighty task ahead. I don't think there is a room that doesn't need at least a skim, actually maybe the downstairs clockroom but that is it!

Very, very exciting and especially more so now we've starting looking at finishing details like light fittings and carpets *squeals*

Will update a bit more soon, but have hungry children to feed and a couple of cake orders to fulfill this week.

So we're moving!

To a beautiful old house with a huge garden and best of all - a huge solid fuel rayburn. Previously used to cook and heat the house it will soon be used only to cook. I'm so crazy excited about it!

I'm planning on having a dinner party when we finally get in (heaps of work to do yet although it's happening quite fast now). So I keep planning my menu with the rayburn in mind, harder than I originally thought although a slow cook casserole as a main would be an easy option!

Anyway, possibly:

To start: Crab cakes with a mango and sweetcorn salsa

Main: Maybe a king prawn curry or slow cook beef or a casserole

Dessert: Mint chocolate pots or lemon/lime cheesecake

Cheeseboard

Any suggestions?
