I've had these fitted this morning. They're the same as the ones that were at the window when I bought the house five years ago, except they're not heavily nicotine-stained!

I wasn't going to have any blinds at all, but in the summer the sun comes round and I have to pull the curtains to watch the tv, and also I feel a little on view, especially as it's a through lounge, straight out to the garden.

I know the heavy slatted venetian blinds are the thing nowadays, but they're just an extra cleaning job!

Edit: I'm watching The Last Bus starring Timothy Spall and it's rather lovely ♡
