Homes, sweet homes?

It's been a challenging day....

After spending three solid days packing and making preparations, with my sister, for my Mother's move to a care home, today I  drove her back to Winchester and took her to her new residence. She was not a happy bunny! She is very, very, cross about having to leave her home even though she accepts there is really no other option to keep her safe and just as importantly have people to talk to and daily social activities on offer. 
Meanwhile, "back at our ranch" Martin has been overseeing the laying of a new kitchen floor. We had a water leak under the floor a couple of years ago but it has taken this long to find an experienced carpenter to replace the old chipboard and his colleague to lay new floor covering. Of course, the rest of the house is in disarray with kitchen equipment and furniture in other rooms, and a fine wood dust settling throughout! 
No doubt, more of the same tomorrow!
