Bit of a ceiling

Our 'dining room' (aka junk room) has a pretty fancy ceiling. Mr B is going to paint it soon, so I thought I'd best capture it in all it's madness before it changes. I did try lying on the floor and taking shots to join together... but it was all too complicated. So here's a bit of it. Who knows, one day it may have a table and chairs in it rather than the strimmer and a few egg boxes with potatoes in.

Lovely long lie in this morning, and then a couple of hours of digging before the rain set in for the day. So the veg garden has a trench all around it for a fence (now probably filled in again with mud after all that rain) and the paths/beds marked out. Tomorrow: a fence. Then the planting begins.

Many small children in our house this afternoon sheltering from the rain. At snack time cheekiness reach new heights when one told me I have a fat bum. Turned out he didn't want his mum to hear about that and he was nice as pie after that threat... Duck, dauphinoise potatoes and tarte tatin for dinner and the holiday is drawing to a pleasant close.
