Damp ol' time...

Standing water, the first time ever.
 Well, it's three weeks today since we arrived back in the UK.  In all that time we've had 3 days without any rain!  This afternoon we have had rain of biblical proportions, in fact in the twenty years that I have had the paddock in which we live in the caravan whilst back here, this is the first time we've had standing water.  It's not that we mind having some rain rain it's just that it never seems to know when to stop here!  I think I may need that yacht here rather than in Greece soon!


Sitting room ready for moving stuff in.
For the last week we have been helping our eldest son Gary, with the decoration of his new home.  It's an old Victorian farm house and by anyone's standard it was in a right bloody state.  Muck you ain't seen nothing like it!  Anyway while we are here and before the kids leave school for their summer holidays we are trying to get at least some of it into a liveable condition.

Hallway getting there.
Sitting room, kitchen, bathroom, hall, stairs and landing are the priority.  I guess we are somewhere near halfway now.  John, Gary's father in law, is doing the kids bedrooms, but obviously with two small kids coming home after school it's difficult to keep paint and them separated.   We have Sandra's dad Geoff helping us as well so it's all hands on deck.

Landing just started.

We are having some time out tomorrow and for the weekend as Finley is not at school and it's damn near impossible to do anything whilst the whirl wind is at home.  We are out tomorrow night at Sandra's cousin Paul's house for a meal, his "bubs" (short for indybubs(Indian meals)) are legend.  Then on Saturday it's over to our long suffering friends Allen and Jean to deliver the wine we brought home from Lefkas to them, so at least this weekend we should get enough lubrication to see us through the next week or so!
